Descrizione:

During the T'ang Dynasty the people started using ink on carved wood which represented their first ever printing. This was the most significant Innovation within printmaking history. This was then widely spread all through out East Asia which then lead it to have been updated towards the end of the T'ang Dynasty. Although this was revolutionary and was used more formally between important business transactions it became very time-consuming. Many tried to print out books but since you had to find the specific block of text and carry that on throughout the whole book it became very tiring.
