Gutenberg comes from a wealthy family. He is the son of a jeweler. The first invention of metal printing was when making mirrors in Gutenberg. He was inspired when he put the mirror into the frame with a press. He began to try to support movable type printing which arranged words and phrases in this way. After numerous experiments, Gutenberg finally succeeded.
Gutenberg's brief introduction points out that his main invention is the printing machine for movable type printing, which enables all kinds of characters to be printed quickly and accurately. Movable type printing first appeared in China, and it was rigid movable type printing, which was also introduced to the West. However, this kind of printing has a very big defect, that is, every time a new book is printed, a set of printing plates need to be re-carved, which is very troublesome and impractical. On the contrary, the metal movable type printing invented by Gutenberg does not need so much trouble, which brings great convenience to people and is also a major reform in the technical field. At that time, Gutenberg's life was not rich, because there were some twists and turns in this invention, which led Gutenberg to go to court, but after the lawsuit ended, Gutenberg still enjoyed patents and improved his life through these patents. At the same time, 180 copies of the Gutenberg Bible named after him were printed at that time, and there are still more than 40 copies left in the world today. The above is the main content introduced by Gutenberg.
