The invention of the printing press changed the world, and this innovation from the 15th century is still instrumental today. Although technology has progressed, modern printing still owes its existence and further innovations to that first invention. At The Print Factory, we continue to push NH printing into the future as we appreciate the inventors who made our business possible.
Let’s take a brief look at some important inventions in printing and how we’re changing the NH printing game at The Print Factory.
Groundbreaking Inventions in Printing
Commercial printing has changed a lot since the invention of the movable type printing press. Moveable type printing was invented in 1439 by Johannes Gutenburg, a German blacksmith, goldsmith, printer, and publisher. Mr. Gutenburg was light years ahead of his time!
While Gutenberg gets most of the credit in the history books, William A. Lavelette, a lesser-known Black American inventor, patented a printing press in 1878 that greatly improved the quality of printing. Until his innovations, printers focused on high volume at the sacrifice of quality and readability. Lavelette’s printing press was more efficient and produced more legible printing than earlier presses.
Better Printing at The Print Factory
Today, commercial printers can print crisp, clean text and make photos and text pop with vibrant colors. At The Print Factory, we can make any flyer, advertisement banner, wedding invitation, or even a restaurant menu eye-catching! We will gladly take your idea, throw in a creative spin, and show you various techniques, designs, and paper stock to assist you in making your decisions. We have a keen eye for quality and detail, and we provide the best customer service possible. We’re also the only print shop in New Hampshire capable of in-house thermography printing, and we take great pride in the artwork that goes into that process.
