Koenig's Steam Printing Press (1814 model)

Koenig's steam printing press was one of the most important technological advances in printing pre-1900. While earlier hand operated printers could only manage 480 pages per hour, Koenig's first steam press in 1812 could print as many as 800 pgs/hr. Within six years of innovation this number had risen to 2400.
