Old metal-type prints (guhwaljabon) appeared with the introduction of the soft-metal (lead) types (yeonhwalja) and the advancement of modern print technology. A variety of books were printed using old-metal types, including classical novels, modern novels, how-to books, religious publications, and translations. In the late 19th century, lead was considered a new type metal, and as a result, some scholars refer to old metal types as simply “metal types” or “new metal types.” However, considering that lead types were eventually replaced with copper types and computer typesetting in the 1980s, lead-type print is generally referred to as old metal-type print.

| - Old metal-type prints (guhwaljabon) appeared with the introduction of the soft-metal (lead) types (yeonhwalja) and the advancement of modern print technology. A variety of books were printed using old-metal types, including classical novels, modern novels, how-to books, religious publications, and translations. In the late 19th century, lead was considered a new type metal, and as a result, some scholars refer to old metal types as simply “metal types” or “new metal types.” However, considering that lead types were eventually replaced with copper types and computer typesetting in the 1980s, lead-type print is generally referred to as old metal-type print. In old metal-type prints, the sizes of the types are smaller than before, which reduced the gap between the types as well, therefore increasing the amount of information that can be contained within a page. The printing process sped up, and the number of copies increased exponentially. In addition, the topics of the printed books became diversified. Among them, old metal-type print classical novels refer to the novels that were mass-produced by publishers for profits in the early 20th century. They consist of foreign and Korean novels, their adaptations, or narrative stories based on the classics or historical incidents. Peddlers and merchants supplied the books directly to the readers at low price. These books were also referred to as iyagichaek (story books), ttakjibon (paper tile books), yunjeonsoseol (six penny novels). Ttakjibon was a name given to the books due to the colorful covers, similar to the paper tiles (ttakji) used in games, and yukjeonsoseol was a name printed on the books published by Sinmungwan but came to be used to refer to old metal-type print classic novels in general.
