All Printing and Typewriter Inventors

Inventors who created the machines and methods for putting words on paper, from movable type in China and the movable-type printing press of Europe to lithography, a printing technique based on the way oil and water do not mix, and the typewriter with its QWERTY keyboard. A person belongs here when the cited article credits the person with inventing a type, a press, a printing technique or a typewriter. It excludes authors, publishers and printers who only used these machines.
