Koenig's first steam printing press (1811)
He first attempted his idea in 1803 when he began trials of his idea for a press which involved the raising and lowering of the platern, back and forth movement of the bed and the inking by a series of rollers all to be controlled by gear wheels. This was all to be fueled by steam power, requiring significantly less human intervention compared to earlier technologies.
