Abstract

As the title suggests here is given an insight into printing technology’s development from Gutenberg to the modern day. Beginning is with the book printing press of Johannes Gutenberg to present day book printings. Afterwards is presented the deep press – copper press from the end of the 15th century till present times. Following are plate techniques of printing from stone printing to wet printing and today’s dry offset. Also described here are flexi printing and screen printing. Amongst the digital techniques here the most important: electro photography and inkjet are briefly presented. There then follows the presentation of hybrid techniques. Hologram printing is barely mentioned at the end a presentation is given to today’s new and quite well spread technique of lenticular printing.
