The world's first printer, the typesetter developed by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, was later followed by various mechanical printing technologies in the 1900s. One notable advancement was the linotype machine, which could set type at a speed of about 1,000 letters per minute. In contrast, early printing presses operated much slower, producing only a few pages per hour. Overall, the speed of printing in the early 1900s marked a significant improvement over previous methods, revolutionizing the publishing industry.
