'''Printing''' is a process for reproducing [[text]] and [[Image|images]] using a master form or template.

== History ==

The earliest examples include Cylinder seals and other objects such as the Cyrus Cylinder and the Cylinders of Nabonidus.

The earliest known form of woodblock printing came from China dating to before 220 A.D.

Later developments in printing include the movable type, first developed by Bi Sheng in China.

The [[printing press]], a more efficient printing process for western languages with their more limited alphabets, was developed by Johannes Gutenberg in the fifteenth century.

== Modern printing ==

Modern printing is done typically with ink on paper using a printing press.

It is also frequently done on metals, plastics, cloth and composite materials.

On paper it is often carried out as a large-scale industrial process and is an essential part of publishing and transaction printing.

== Block letters ==

The term ''printing'' is also used to describe [[block letters]].
