letterpresses (printing presses, image transfer equipment, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |

Note: Printing presses that produce prints by repeated direct impression of an inked, raised surface against paper. The matrix is composed from movable type set into the bed or chase of a press and locked and inked, then the paper is brought into contact against it to transfer the ink from the type, which creates an impression on the paper. Letterpresses have many forms, but variations have been in use from their invention by Gutenberg in the 15th century through the 19th century, and remained in wide use for books and other uses until the advent of offset printing.
