Printing press
A printing press is a mechanical machine that transfers ink onto materials such as paper or cloth by applying pressure to an inked surface. It marked a major advance on earlier methods, in which ink was applied to the printing surface and the paper was rubbed by hand to transfer it. The invention and global spread of the printing press was one of the most influential developments of the early modern period.
