FIRST PRINTING PRESS

 

In 1593, the first printing press was worked by hand and turned out to help convert the Filipinos to Catholicism. Some two centuries later, improved machinery - but still run by hand - printed the first newspaper , Del Superior Govierno, in August 8, 1811, giving news about the Napoleonic invasion of Spain.

The Filipinoémigrés in Spain published in 1889 the fortnightly periodical La Solidaridad to propagate their nationalistic views. In 1910 the Manila weekly journal El Renacimiento was closed after a libel suit against its publisher, Martin Ocampo, and the editor Teodoro M. Kalaw.

The hand press was used to
print Del Superior Govierno in the early 19th century.
The modern offset color press
The linotype speeded up the setting type.
The contemporary press that produces hundreds of copies every minute
Modern color prints were done
on the color-separation unit
