Flat Metal Or Wood Plate Called The Platen

Ok, so what is a platen you may wonder? Well it is none other than a flat metal or in ancient times a wooden plate which is placed and pressed against a soft medium, such as paper to produce impressions on it. The method is now called letterpress printing. The platen can also be referred to as a simple typewriter roller. This roller is the one which forces the paper below the type bars or print heads.
