🔴 📚 **Before Control-P: The Printing Process**
Patrick Hastings
_“This post will explain how press operators used a printing press to produce multiple copies of identical text for wide distribution. Although this process may seem slow and cumbersome to contemporary readers, remember that printing replaced the hand-copying of manuscripts by scribes. It is impossible to overstate the degree to which printing technology revolutionized communication in Europe when it appeared in the 1450s.”_
