Since around 3500 BCE, man has used different forms of printing to communicate with one another. Block printing began around 200 AD, with movable type coming on the scene about 1041 AD in Eastern Asia. In Europe, John Gutenberg printed the Gutenberg Bible in 1455, sealing the destiny of printing in the western world.
Today’s presses are significantly different than their predecessors. There is no more need to manually move type tiles when a computer handles it all. What used to take weeks, maybe even months to design, set-up, and print can be done in hours or a few days. With services ranging from full offset printing to quick digital turnarounds, World Arts covers the full range of modern-day professional printing.
