Johannes Gutenberg (A.D. 1400-1468) was a German printer who invented the first printing press using movable type. He was also the first to use a press to print, by setting up a matrix for typecasting.

Some historians claim that the printing press had already been invented in China before Gutenberg, but this is debatable as no one in the West was aware of it.
