Printing Press Components
The printing press consists of several key components that work together to produce printed materials. The main parts include the bed, where the paper is placed, and the type, which consists of individual letters and symbols used to create text. The ink rollers apply ink to the type, while the press plate helps transfer the inked image onto the paper.
Another important component is the flywheel, which provides the necessary mechanical energy to operate the press. The feed board helps guide the paper into position, ensuring accurate alignment. Together, these components enable the efficient production of printed documents.
