Friedrich Koenig was a German inventor best known for his steam-powered printing press, which he built together with watchmaker Andreas Friedrich Bauer. This new style of printing press could initially print up to 1,100 single-sided impressions per hour. Koenig and Bauer later built another machine capable of "perfecting," or printing both sides of the paper on the same pass.
