What is the scientific name of printing?

Answer 1

The scientific name of printing is lithography. This name is derived from the roots "lithos", meaning stone, and "graphein", meaning "to write". Essentially, the earliest forms of printing were equivalent to etching pictograms, hieroglyphs, and other forms into stone. Then, inks and dyes were created. After that, wood blocks were used to print. Then, the printing press was created, which allowed for mass-production of printed works. Lithography is also used today to etch integrated circuits in microchips.
