Before Gutenberg, the press was limited in the number of issues and made almost entirely decorative, which is used for photos and drawings. The printing equipment was carved in wood, stone and metal, rolled with ink or paint and transferred by pressure of parchment or vellum. The books were copied mainly by the hands of members of religious orders.
