The printing press was invented before the Americas were discovered. The same kind that were used in Europe were simply made in America once people wanted them there. The first printing press in Europe was built by a German goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg. He made it around 1440 and the first book he printed was the Bible.
Johannes Gutenberg invented a specific kind of printing press with replaceable/moveable wooden or metal letters in 1436 and was completed in 1440. This method of printing can be credited not only for a revolution in the production of books, but also for fostering rapid development in the sciences, arts and religion through the transmission of texts. People often say he invented the printing press, which is incorrect. Printing existed for centuries before Gutenberg. Gutenberg just developed a system that made printing easier and cheaper to do.
When it was invented in the 15th century, the printing press revolutionized the way Europeans saw their world. It allowed information to be disseminated to a large group of people quickly. The printing press helped spread ideas about religion and politics to people who had never before had access to this sort of information.
He invented the Printing press because before the printing press they wrote books by hand and they took for ever to finish 1. So they were really rare and only the people that were rich could afford to bye books so only the rich ones could read. Then when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press everyone could bye books and eventually it spread through out Europe . The printing press could print 31 pages before you could write 3 pages .
