# 500 jaar boekdrukkunst in Nederland moderne en oude druktechnieken

In the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, an exhibition has been set up to commemorate the fact that the first dated books appeared in the Netherlands in 1437. With books from the 15th century. Furthermore, old and new techniques of printing books. An engraver cuts a stamp from a letter, from which a letter is cast. The letters come in a letter box, from which they are taken and put in a setting hook. In a printing press the pages are printed on paper. In a monotype machine, the typed text is transferred to a punching belt, which drives a casting machine that casts the letters in lines. Then the text is printed in a Heidelberger fully automatic printing press. Using a mono-photographic composing machine, the text is photographed on cellophane using a punch tape, together with images. This is transferred to cylinders which are printed in multiple colours on paper. With the statue of Laurens Janszoon Coster in front of the St. Bavo in Haarlem.
