Inquiry and Analyzing- 3D Design and Modeling
Father Of Printers:
Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press in the 1450's, and the first book to ever be printed was a Latin language Bible, printed in Mainz, Germany.
Johann Gutenberg had an idea to invent a Block Printer,since all his book writing came into good use. The printer first cut a block of hard wood the size of the page that he was going to print. Then he cut out every word of the written page upon the smooth face of his block. This had to be very carefully done. When it was finished the printer had to cut away the wood from the sides of every letter. This left the letters raised, as the letters are in books now printed for the blind. The block was now ready to be used. The letters were inked, paper was laid upon them and pressed down. With blocks the printer could make copies of a book a great deal faster than a man could write them by hand. But the making of the blocks took a long time, and each block would print only one page.
Different Types Of Printers:
There are two types of Printers= Impact Printers and Non-Impact Printers
Non-impact printers do not use a striking device to produce characters on the paper; and because these printers do not hammer against the paper they are much quieter. Following are some non-impacted printers.
Types of Impact Printers:
- Do-Matrix Printers
- Daisy-Wheel Printers
- Line Printers
- Drum Printers
- Chain Printers
- Band Printers
Types of Non-Impact Printers:
- Ink-Jet Printers
- Laser Printers

History of different types of printers:
An invention as useful as printing, in a Europe of increasing richness, easily finds new customers.
The first Italian press is founded in 1464, at the Benedictine town of Subiaco in the (related to the office and rule of the Pope) states. Switzerland has a press in the following year. Printing beginsin Venice, Paris and Utrecht in 1470, in Spain and Hungary in 1473, in Bruges in 1474 (on a pressowned by Caxton, who moves it to London in 1476), in Sweden in 1483. By the end of the centurythe craft is (done or used by many people) in every European kingdom except Russia.
Within the first century of printing two more friendly methods become available - set of written words (on jewelry, etc.) and etching. Both are described as intaglio ('cut in' in Italian) because theydig out grooves in the surface of a copper plate. In set of written words (on jewelry, etc.), sliversof metal are deeply cut/cheated out with a sharp tool (the burin). In etching, acid is used to eataway the copper along lines drawn through a coating of wax (which protects the rest of the metalsurface).
The disadvantage is that intaglio prints require a different kind of press, where the inked copperplate and a sheet of paper are together passed between two rollers, like a great mangle. Intensepressure forces the paper into the grooves of the metal to pick out the ink.
