The reason why movable type printing replaces traditional printing

It's simple. In the past, block printing had to be engraved word by word, and all the mistakes in the whole layout had to be engraved again. Movable type can greatly reduce the workload after making mistakes and improve the production efficiency of printing plates, especially clay plates. After engraving a font, a large number of identical clay molds can be produced. When people's demand for printed matter is increasing, this technological progress meets the needs of development, so it quickly replaces the traditional block printing.

Today, due to the development of computer technology, movable type printing instead of traditional printing is replaced by computer typesetting and plate making, which is also because of higher efficiency and lower cost.
