Explain the difference between woodblock printing and printing that uses movable type.

What will be an ideal response?


Both techniques are forms of relief printing, in which the ink sits on a raised surface. However, woodblock printing involves the use of raised images and calligraphy cut onto wooden slabs, while printing that uses movable type involves the use of combinations of sorts on which individual letters or images have been cut or cast. These slugs can be arranged and rearranged to form endless varieties of words and layouts.
