Printing Press

We have talked about this in class a lot, but it needs to be mentioned. The printing press is a very influential part of our media history. The printing press is a device for evenly printing ink onto a print medium (substrate) such as paper or cloth. The device applies pressure to a print medium that rests on an inked surface made of moveable type, thereby transferring the ink. It made information fast, and was able to help information spread faster than ever before.
