Woodblock printing started in China in 593 CE. Traditionally, there have been two main printing techniques in East Asia: woodblock printing (xylography) and moveable type printing. In the woodblock technique, ink is applied to letters carved upon a wooden board, which is then pressed onto paper. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
With moveable type, the board is assembled using different lettertypes, according to the page being printed. Wooden printing was used in the East from the 8th century onwards, and moveable metal type came into use during the 12th century.The earliest specimen of woodblock printing on paper, whereby individual sheets of... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |

A small correction to a block can be made by cutting a small notch and hammering in a wedge-shaped piece of wood. Larger errors require an inlay. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
After this the block is washed to remove any refuse. To print, the block is fixed firmly on a table. The printer takes a round horsehair inking brush and applies ink with a vertical motion. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
The paper is then laid on the block and rubbed with a long narrow pad to transfer the impression to the paper. The paper is peeled off and set to dry. Because of the rubbing process, printing is only done on one side of the paper, and the paper is thinner than in the west, but two pages are normally printed at once. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
Sample copies were sometimes made in red or blue, but black ink was always used for production. It is said that a skilled printer could produce as many as 1500 or 2000 double sheets in a day.

Bi Sheng (畢昇) (990–1051) developed the first known movable-type system for printing in China around 1040 AD during the Northern Song dynasty, using ceramic materials. As described by the Chinese scholar Shen Kuo (沈括) (1031–1095): When he wished to print, he took an iron frame and set it on the iron plate. In this he pl... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
He then placed it near the fire to warm it. When the paste was slightly melted, he took a smooth board and pressed it over the surface, so that the block of type became as even as a whetstone.For each character there were several types, and for certain common characters there were twenty or more types each, in order t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
But for printing hundreds or thousands of copies, it was marvelously quick. As a rule he kept two forms going. While the impression was being made from the one form, the type was being put in place on the other. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
When the printing of the one form was finished, the other was then ready. In this way the two forms alternated and the printing was done with great rapidity.In 1193, Zhou Bida, an officer of Southern Song Dynasty, made a set of the clay movable-type method according to the method described by Shen Kuo in his Dream Pool... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
Bronze movable type printing was invented in China no later than the 12th century, according to at least 13 material finds in China, in large scale bronze plate printing of paper money and formal official documents issued by Jin (1115–1234) and Southern Song (1127–1279) dynasties with embedded bronze metal types for an... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |

Each set co... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
Wooden movable type was also first developed around 1040 AD by Bi Sheng (990–1051), as described by the Chinese scholar Shen Kuo (1031–1095), but was abandoned in favour of clay movable types due to the presence of wood grains and the unevenness of the wooden type after being soaked in ink. In 1298, Wang Zhen (王禎), a Y... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
This system was later enhanced by pressing wooden blocks into sand and casting metal types from the depression in copper, bronze, iron or tin. This new method overcame many of the shortcomings of woodblock printing. Rather than manually carving an individual block to print a single page, movable type printing allowed f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
Furthermore, these new, more compact type fonts could be reused and stored. The set of wafer-like metal stamp types could be assembled to form pages, inked, and page impressions taken from rubbings on cloth or paper. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
In 1322, a Fenghua county officer Ma Chengde (馬稱德) in Zhejiang, made 100,000 wooden movable types and printed 43 volume Daxue Yanyi (《大學衍義》). Wooden movable types were used continually in China.

The transition from wood type to movable metal type occurred in Korea during the Goryeo dynasty, some time in the 13th century, to meet the heavy demand for both religious and secular books. A set of ritual books, Sangjeong Gogeum Yemun were printed with movable metal type in 1234. The credit for the first metal movabl... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
The following description of the Korean font casting process was recorded by the Joseon dynasty scholar Song Hyon (15th century): At first, one cuts letters in beech wood. One fills a trough level with fine sandy of the reed-growing seashore. Wood-cut letters are pressed into the sand, then the impressions become nega... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
At this step, placing one trough together with another, one pours the molten bronze down into an opening. The fluid flows in, filling these negative molds, one by one becoming type. Lastly, one scrapes and files off the irregularities, and piles them up to be arranged.While metal movable type printing was developed in ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |

At their studio in Saga, Kyoto, the pair created a number of woodblock versions of the Japanese classics, both text and images, essentially converting emaki (handscrolls) to printed books, and reproducing them for wider consumption. These books, now known as Kōetsu Books, Suminokura Books, or Saga Books, are considered... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
For aesthetic reasons, the typeface of the Saga-bon, like that of traditional handwritten books, adopted the renmen-tai (ja), in which several characters are written in succession with smooth brush strokes. As a result, a single typeface was sometimes created by combining two to four semi-cursive and cursive kanji or h... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
In one book, 2,100 characters were created, but 16% of them were used only once.Despite the appeal of moveable type, however, craftsmen soon decided that the semi-cursive and cursive script style of Japanese writings was better reproduced using woodblocks. By 1640 woodblocks were once again used for nearly all purposes... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
Despite the introduction of movable type from the 11th century, printing using woodblocks remained dominant in East Asia until the introduction of lithography and photolithography in the 19th century. To understand this it is necessary to consider both the nature of the language and the economics of printing. Given tha... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
In the case of wood, the characters were either produced in a large block and cut up, or the blocks were cut first and the characters cut afterwards. In either case the size and height of the type had to be carefully controlled to produce pleasing results. To handle the typesetting, Wang Zhen used revolving tables abou... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
The characters were all numbered and one man holding the list called out the number to another who would fetch the type. This system worked well when the run was large. Wang Zhen's initial project to produce 100 copies of a 60,000 character gazetteer of the local district was produced in less than a month. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
But for the smaller runs typical of the time it was not such an improvement. A reprint required resetting and re-proofreading, unlike the wooden block system where it was feasible to store the blocks and reuse them. Individual wooden characters didn't last as long as complete blocks. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
When metal type was introduced it was harder to produce aesthetically pleasing type by the direct carving method.It is unknown whether metal movable types used from the late 15th century in China were cast from moulds or carved individually. Even if they were cast, there were not the economies of scale available with t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
Additionally, the ink traditionally used in Chinese printing, typically composed of pine soot bound with glue, didn't work well with the tin originally used for type. As a result of all this, movable type was initially used by government offices which needed to produce large number of copies and by itinerant printers p... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
Mechanical presses were then invented by Europeans. Instead, printing remained an unmechanized, laborious process with pressing the back of the paper onto the inked block by manual "rubbing" with a hand tool. In Korea, the first printing presses were introduced as late as 1881–83, while in Japan, after an early but bri... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_printing_in_East_Asia |
