May 20, 2009
Johannes Gutenberg developed movable type utilizing metal fonts, and combined those innovations with oil-based ink and a hand-cranked press to enable mass production of printed books. His invention, in about 1450, was truly revolutionary and is partly credited with the Renaissance in Europe. The publication of scientific manuscripts greatly expanded knowledge throughout the world. Gutenberg printed a 42 line Bible which established the superiority of his techniques and set the standard for centuries to come. His basic process is still used today in offset lithography printing. Gutenberg is widely recognized as one of the most influential people in world history.
