Gutenberg

He invented the printing press--influenced the production of books, which influenced the ability to mass produce ideas to society. His invention influenced modern day technology of printing.

He produced the first typographic book…the 36 or 42 line Bible around 1450-55

His process of producing movable type was done more quickly because everything was not hand painted like the previous years. He invented a machine that used a punch, matrix, and sort. The oil based ink and the type mold he used were particular to the process. The metal was different than other metals used previously.
