Detailed Solution

Johannes Gutenberg invented the Gutenberg Press. The German inventor and craftsman Johannes Gutenberg invented a system for printing with a moveable type. His invention is believed to have included a metal alloy that could melt easily and an oil-based ink that could be made thick enough to adhere well to metal type and transfer well to vellum or paper, and a new press for applying firm even pressure to printing surfaces that was probably modified from presses used to produce wine, oil, or paper. The European letter-stamping method utilised at the time as well as woodblock printing lacked all of these characteristics. Because it made books widely available and sparked an "information revolution," Gutenberg's printing press is regarded as a pivotal historical development.
