What is the information about the printing press?

Modern printing in the West is marked by the invention of lead movable type by the German J. Gutenberg. Gutenberg began developing metal movable type between 1438 and 1450, and printed the famous Forty-Two Line Bible in 1455. His inventions included casting boxes, stamped word molds, lead alloys for casting movable type, a wooden printing press, printing inks, and a complete printing process. Other printed books he produced include the Bible Psalms (1457), the Thirty-Six Line Bible (before 1460), and the All-Souls Medicine (1460). Gutenberg's lead movable type printing was different from the ancient Chinese printing press in a whole new sense. It laid the foundation for the development of the publishing industry in the direction of industrialization and had a great impact on the course of world civilization. In Europe, before the invention of lead type, there were only tens of thousands of hand-copied books, but between 1450 and 1500, after only 50 years, the number of printed books in Europe had reached 35,000, and the number soared to 9 million. With the increasing development of the printing industry, the world's first modern newspapers and magazines were finally launched in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. The famous Japanese scholar of the history of science and technology, Yuasa Kouzao pointed out: "The invention of printing as a weapon of human emancipation, compared with the explosive power of gunpowder, the strong influence of the reach is greater. In the Middle Ages, academics were monopolized by the monastic class, philosophy became the handmaiden of theology, science degenerated into witchcraft, and technology was confined to the coterie of the guilds, all of which were related to the lack of tools for the preservation and transmission of knowledge. The cultural-historical value of the printing press in bringing the world's reason to life and raising its standard significantly must be highly valued."
