xylography
A printing technique that involves carving text in relief upon a wooden block. When inked, the impression is transferred to paper. The oldest known printed works were produced by this method in Japan and China during the 8th and 9th centuries. This method of wood-block printing appeared in Europe in the 14th century and eventually inspired Johannes Gutenberg to create type pieces out of metal.

There is definitely a learning curve to using this that I am surprised by. I was hoping for a simple magnifying ruler, as the eyes are not what they were. If I figure it all out, I will leave another review, but as of now, it is not what I had hoped it would be. The beveling in the center of the ruler gives an illusion that seems to throw me off.
