'''Moveable type''' is type in which each individual character is cast on a separate piece of metal. It replaced [[woodblock printing]], allowing the arrangement of individual letters and other characters on a page, rather than requiring the carving of entire pages at a time.
It may have first been invented in [[Korea]] in the thirteenth century. Movable type is an important component of the [[Printing Press]]
