Research: 4 printing techniques

Japanese Woodblock Printing (pre-industrial era)

Steam press (industrial revolution)

faster and more efficient, less physical labour, production costs went down, books and publications drop in price, not just for the elite anymore

Flatbed printer (contemporary technology)

Wikipedia: “The biggest advantage that you can get from flatbed digital printing is the versatility that they offer. No matter what material, what shape, and what size of the material you want to print on, as long as it has a flat surface and does not exceed the maximum size of printable area of the flatbed, you can print on it. The resolution of prints produced by these devices is also very high and they can print in quick speed. The ink consumption of the device is also very efficient and you are able to use the ink as optimally as possible.”

Computational Hydrographic Printing (remarkable find)
