Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the mid-1400s a German craftsman named Johannes Gutenberg developed a way to handle this process by machine—the first printing press. His invention combined movable pieces of metal type that could be reused with a press that could produce sharp impressions on paper over and over again.
