    The printing press is a mechanical device that allowed for mass production of printed materials through movable type, making books and information more accessible. Johannes Gutenberg introduced the printing press to Europe in the 15th century. It was important because it increased access to information, advanced education and science, and had political and religious implications and economic impacts. The Ottomans were early adopters of the printing press, establishing the first press in 1727, though Jews had introduced printing earlier. The Ottomans used printing to disseminate information, promote culture, and support economic growth.
