Robert Barclay
The second paragraph says:

Development of the offset press came in two versions: in 1875 by Robert Barclay of England for printing on tin

and links to a "Robert Barclay (23 December 1648 – 3 October 1690)". As far as I can tell, there isn't yet an article on the inventor Robert Barclay.

Time line
Is as far as I can tell correct, but it is interesting that the dates of invention precede widespread application by several decades in most instances. E.g. as late as the 1970s, "offset printing" was talked about as the hottest new thing, and laser printers slowly conquered the workplace over the 1990s.2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:3999:AD7D:2296:6887 (talk) 07:40, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Amazing that a page with this name does not exist. There are many others. I was going to create one, but to create a new page is even more PITA these days :) Surjit Singh (talk) 20:02, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
