Printer (publishing)

In publishing, printers are the companies that supply printing services and persons who operate directly printing presses.

After the invention of the moveable type printing press by Johannes Gutenberg around 1450, printers were made popular throughout Europe.

Today, printers are found throughout the world. They include:

 Newspaper printers, that are often owned by newspaper publishers
 Magazine printers, that are usually independent of magazine publishers
 Book printers, often not directly connected with book publishers
 Stationery printers
 Packaging printers
 Commercial printers, often offering digital and traditional printing services

An artist that operates a printing press to do their own works, especially by hand, is usually named by the term printmaker.
