l8世纪,印刷厂大多是手工小作坊。作坊主往往同时也是印刷工。当时有个叫安德鲁·布莱德福特的人,手里有一份让所有印刷商眼红的合同——他包揽了所有印制宾夕法尼亚州政府文件和宣传品的活儿。虽然布莱德福特的印刷厂秩序混乱,印刷质量不高,但因为有了合同,他感觉高枕 In the 8th century, most of the printing factories were small workshops. The workshop owner is often also a printer. At that time, there was a man called Andrew Bradford who had a contract in his hands that made all the printers jealous - he took all the jobs of printing Pennsylvania government documents and promotional materials. Although the printing order in Bradford was confusing and the quality of the printing was not high, he felt that he had a high pillow because of the contract.
