    Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press around 1440 in Mainz, Germany. The printing press replaced block printing and allowed for mass production of books and papers. It was widely used during the Renaissance to make copies of texts that could be distributed around the world. The printing press had significant effects such as making authorship more meaningful and profitable, establishing communities of scientists who could easily communicate, and contributing to Gutenberg's invention of woodblock printing, though it did not achieve total dominance.
