¿What is the print?Printing is an industrial method of reproduction of texts and images on paper or similar material, which is to implement a ink, generally oily, on a metal parts, called types, for transfer to the role by pressure. Although began as a method artisanal, was a process very fast to their times
The Romans had stamps printed inscriptions on objects of clay around the year 430 B.C. and the 440 A. C. It is said that between 1041 and 1048, Bì Shēng invented ,in China, where there was already a type of rice paper, the first system of printing of types mobiles, on the basis of complex pieces of porcelain in which they were the Chinese characters; this was a complex procedure by the vast amount of characters that were needed for the Chinese script.
Invention of Gutenberg
Johannes Gutenberg adopted an old factory of fabrics like the building where he had his printing. Gutenberg gambled to which was able to make to the time, a copy of the Bible in less than half the time of what it took to copy a the fastest of all monks copyists of the Muslim world and that they might not be different in all of the handwritten by them.
Asked for money to a
lender jew, Juan Fust, and
began his challenge without
being aware of what his
invention would represent for
the future of all mankind.
Instead of using the usual
slatted wood, which were by
the use, compiled molds in
wood in each of the alphabet
letters and subsequently filled
the molds with iron, creating
the first "types mobile".
He had to make
several models of the
same letters that
coincide all among
themselves: in total,
more than 150
"types", to imitate the
writing of a
manuscript. He had to
unite one by one the
letters to be held in
an ingenious support,
much faster than that
recorded in wood and
considerably more
resistant to use.
What Gutenberg not
calculated well was
the time that it would
take to launch its new
invention, so that
before the end of the
work was left without
money. Again, he
requested a new credit to Juan Fust
and, before the distrust of the lender,
offered him form a
society. Juan Fust
accepted the proposal and delegated the monitoring of the
work of Gutenberg his
nephew, Peter Schöffer, who was put
to work side by side
with him while guarding the reversal
of his uncle.
After two years of work, Gutenberg
returned to stay without money.
Was close to end the 150 Bibles
that had been proposed, but John
Fust did not want expand credit
and gave up the past, staying with
the business and putting the front
of his nephew, proficient already in
the arts of the new impression as a
partner-apprentice of Gutenberg.
Gutenberg came out of his printing ruined and account that he was hosted by the bishop of the city, the only one who recognized her work until his death after a few years.
Gutenberg, next to his
friend Fust edited some
booklets and bullae of
indulgence and in
particular, the monument
to the printing primitive,
the Bible of the 42 lines,
in two volumes of double
folio, of 324 and 319
pages respectively, with
blank spaces for after
painting to hand the
letters chapter, the
allegories and vignettes
that out colorfully each
one of the pages of the
Bible.
The art typographical evolved and fail to create masterpieces in training and structures of books and special editions printed. Currently the printing techniques in quality and volume have improved dramatically, some through computer, forgetting the art typographical that many printers of the world are reluctant to change.
ConclusionFew inventions have had an influence on the human being as the creation of the printing, that ancient art that, if coupled by a work in work of typographer and to the writings of a good author, provides a work of art complete, ready to move in beauty literary and aesthetic typesetting the reader, the order first and last of the printing press.
