Industrial Printing Press Invention

 The invention of mechanical printing presses made the printing process a lot more efficient, reducing production time and increasing the number of books that could be printed in one day. Even though printing essentials remained the same, mechanical printing presses impacted the printing industry. This was because they made the process much more efficient and allowed one to print many copies of a text. Lord Stanhope is known for building a press made entirely of cast iron and could print 480 pages per hour, doubling the production of the previous presses. This invention is the foundation of modern-day printing presses.
