An old engraving of an industrial lithographic (litho) printing press of the 1800s. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. Mainly used to print newspapers, this machine was belt driven, and its bed moved backwards and forwards with wheels running on rails. Lithographic printing allows a flat printing plate to be used, enabling much longer and more detailed print runs than the older methods such as letterpress printing.

An old engraving showing a Hoe’s type revolving printing press of the mid-1800s – this version is a two cylinder one. It is from a book of the 1890s on Victorian discoveries and inventions during the 1800s. Richard Hoe (1812 –1886) was an American inventor from New York City. He is best known for the invention in the 1840s of a rotary (revolving) printing press, where type and illustrations were placed on a cylinder that could print much faster than the older, flat-bed printing presses. In 1870 Hoe developed a rotary press that printed both sides of a page in a single operation.

An old engraving showing Napier’s Platen Machine of the 1820s. It is from a Victorian book of the 1890s on discoveries and inventions during the 1800s. The earliest attempt at making a treadle-or belt-operated printing press with a hinged platen (the plate in a letterpress printing press which presses the paper against the type) was by Daniel Treadwell (1791–1872). Treadwell, an American living in England, devised a press and had the Scottish press builder David Napier to build it in 1821. It was made of wood, and incorporated a rotating ink disk for the first time.

An old 1800s engraving of a steam-driven, rotary, cylinder printing press that was used in the industrial revolution of the Victorian era. Germans Friedrich Koenig and Andreas Bauer designed and built their first cylinder press in the early 1800s. It was much faster than the existing flatbed presses. One of their first customers was John Walter of The Times newspaper. The first issue of The Times that used the new presses was published in 1814. The press was installed in secret to avoid sabotage by disgruntled press workers (luddites) who operated the existing presses.
