The earliest known form of printing applied to paper was woodblock printing, which appeared prior to 220 AD in China. Later developments in printing technology include the movable type invented by Bi Sheng around 1040 AD and the printing press invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century.
Printables, or downloadable planners, journals, stickers, and art prints are among the most lucrative and popular digital products to sell. It is entirely possible to earn a side- or even full-time income from selling printables, as many digital product creators have shown.
Created in China, the printing press revolutionized society there before being further developed in Europe in the 15th century by Johannes Gutenberg and his invention of the Gutenberg press.
As the inventor of the printing press, Johannes Gutenberg is usually cited. Indeed, the 15th-century contribution of the German goldsmith to technology was revolutionary, allowing for the mass production of books and the rapid dissemination of knowledge across Europe.
