Printing is not something that has been evolved decades ago but many hundreds of years ago. Of course, they were widely varied from the commercial printing services that are being offered now. But thanks to that first step that was taken by Johannes Gutenberg back in 1440, today man is able to print almost 60 trillion pages annually across the globe. This is because the commercial printers available now are more efficient in producing a higher print quality as well as a number of pages that they can produce.
Even before the Gutenberg’s printing press, records show that there existed some other forms of printing across different parts of the world. However, Gutenberg’s was the first of the movable type. History reveals that his machine utilized metal pieces and type mold. This first movable type press with page setting proved to be much faster and durable. Because the lettering was produced by metal (usually lead) pieces instead of wood like in the old times, the letters in the text became more uniform and the image sharper. The different letter pieces also enabled the printer to produce varied topography as well as fonts.
Strange as it is, it has taken hundreds of years for the press to develop into the commercial printers that they are today. After the Gutenberg’s machine, the press was later modified into the rotary press made by Richard March Hoe back in 1843. This was the first machine that used a cylindrical forum with impressions for printing text. This kind of machine proved to be even more efficient than the earlier kind as it was able to print long continuous rolls of paper.
The commercial printing services of the modern times now utilize heavy-duty commercial printers. The commercial printers that are in use today exist in a wide variety to accomplish the different tasks thrown at them. Printers are not only used to produce newspapers and magazines but also to create advertising material such as brochures, flyers, banners, billboards, and even digital art. All these kinds of commercial printing services have been made a possibility through the invention and then the fast evolution of the computer.
Anything and everything imaginable can be easily printed by combining modern commercial printing services and the creative heads that operate such businesses. The latest technologies have helped turn the world around but mostly it has enabled the production of faster and more efficient machines.
