I researched this, but it all seems to be cluttered with a kazallion different printing types.
I need a summarization - what were four major developments in the invention of printing?
Thanks :)
 
- In 4th century Egypt and 3rd century China they developed Woodblock printing, a major step to modern printing.

-In 1040 the Chinese again made another major advancement, they invented movable Type which used metal blocks to punch in letters

-Johannes Gutenberg invented the Printing Press which allowed books to be produced in much larger quantities. This was a time in which books was only for the rich elite as they are the only ones that could afford the rare books.

-1938 Xerography was invented by Chester Carlton. It was the first ever electronic copying device. It allowed exact copies of documents in a time when most things were copied by hand which allowed many mistakes
