Detailed Solution

Platen refers to the board, which is pressed onto the back of the paper to get the impression from the type. It is used in letterpress printing. This type of printing became profound only after the boom of the print culture, followed by the export of German printing presses in other parts of Europe and the advent of the Print Revolution, advocated by the shift from traditional printing technology to the mechanical printing press. Earlier, the platen was made of a wooden board. However, with the advancement of technology, steel began to be used for making platen boards for printing.
