The printing press was a machine invented by Johannes Gutenberg in 1451 that completely innovated the way in which people record and copy information (Butler). It used a system of letter blocks which were organized into the desired order and then printed onto paper with ink (Whipps). That order could then be copied and reused many times until the blocks broke or changed to print something different, which made it a much faster, more efficient, and more reliable method of recording information…

Those who took Luther’s ideas wanted them to be widespread and so there was another incentive to have multiple copies printed without the fear of having hand copied prints…
