                                                                          Printing

What is Printing? Printing is the art of copying pictures onto another piece of transcript. How printing works is first you get a flat place with the desired image engraved into it. Second you cover it with with inc then you place a piece of paper over it then you rub the back thus printing the desired image into your piece of paper. Printing was first used by the Confucians and the Buddhist's, they invented printing to copy sacred texts. The earliest known print was the Sutra printed on a single piece of paper in Korea in 750.  Over time printing has evolved from this time consuming process. It is still basically the same thing but the technology used to print has gotten better, instead of having to engrave plates or slabs of rock they started using wood with the image carved into it. They later created machines that printed images as well. Some examples are like the printing press, type writers, printers. P.S. I don't have any pictures yet because the pictures size wouldn't fit.
