Word origin

The word 'printed' originates from the Old French word 'preter', meaning 'to print or stamp'. The use of printed materials has a long history dating back to ancient civilizations, where various techniques were used to reproduce text and images on surfaces. With the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, the mass production of printed materials became possible, revolutionizing communication and knowledge dissemination.
