The printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenburg, a German inventor. The printing press was invented around 1450 A.D. In the early 1450's the end of the middle ages was causing massive and rapid cultural changes in Europe. These changes fueled a growing need for the fast and inexpensive production of large quantaties of written documents. Gutenburg borrowed money from local businesses and banks to work on developing a technology that could address this serious economic demand.
