The subject here is a printing press, the machine that turned set type and plates into pages, and its mechanics shaped how books and newspapers were made for centuries. Johannes Gutenberg's movable-type press in the 1450s set a pattern that later presses refined, and the basic idea of inking a raised surface and pressing it onto paper survived well into the modern era.
