< Thinking with Type home

The Mainz Psalter, printed in 1457 by Johann Fust and Peter Shoffer, combines typography with two-color woodcuts. Since metal type and woodcuts are both relief processes, they could be printed together on the same press. The Mainz Psalter also included the first modern colophon (page included at end of book with the publishers name that also include other details about the book's production).
