Basic Overview Of Printing Press Kits

By Eloise Hewitt


The press is a device for printing text and graphics on paper, exerting pressure on the sheet of paper placed on a plate, set of embossed characters or woodcut, pre-inked so that the ink is deposited on paper. Repeated operation provides a large number of identical copies. This is the focus of printing press kits, together with the use of mobile lead characters and specific greasy ink, which is the major invention of Johannes Gutenberg.

The Romans had inscriptions printed on clay objects. Modern print mechanisms were not created until about 1440, with the help of Johannes Gutenberg. In Europe, many people claimed to be part of this development, although reviews suggest that it was German Johannes Gutenberg's ideas that revolutionized the industry. He had a team that supported him as the inventor of typography.

Parallel to developments surrounding mechanical presses, there were many small flower platen presses operated by a pedal or lever and then by an electric motor, which served mainly small print projects: business cards, invitations, announcements, flyers. The form is placed vertically and topped by a circular ink tray: one or more ink rollers pass over the plateau where you put ink, then the shape and the plate carrying the paper just press the form in ways that vary according to machines, but generally on the basis of sides of an open book closes.

In this environment, Gutenberg gambled that he could do a copy of the Bible in less than half the time than it took to copyist monks. The Gutenberg Bible was not just the first book printed, but also was the most perfect. The new media came at a time of rapid change and faster communications and were the answer to the increased demand for information and entertainment.

They had to make several models of identical letters for them to coincide with each other. In total, more than 150 types imitating the writing of a manuscript. One by one the letters were attached in an ingenious stand, much faster than the woodcut and considerably more resistant to wear.

The machines consist mainly of small metal blocks carved with letters, symbols, and also spacebar organized into plates. This plate (matrix) with all necessary implements for forming characters would be taken to a machine called the press, which would put pressure on the matrix against several sheets of paper thus generating a sequence of pages that would be stored for use.

Optimized investment: one of the biggest problems in the publishing industry is that if the volume of circulation of a book is not profitable, that book will never be published. Now with digital methods, short runs can also be profitable, allowing greater democracy of publication. Reprint: this means that very low cost is only possible in the case of new impressions, but also for reprints on demand.

The movable type was invented by the German Johannes Gutenberg in 1439, based on screw presses. He was a goldsmith by profession but went on to developed a complete printing system which perfected the process at all stages, adapting existing inventions with his own technology.The innovative matrix (typography) led to the rapid creation of large quantities of pages, a key element in the profitability of printing presses worldwide.
