The Linotype machine was largely replaced by phototypesetting and computer typesetting in the 1970s and 1980s. Phototypesetting involved using light to create images of characters onto photosensitive paper, which could then be used to create printing plates. Computer typesetting, on the other hand, used computers to digitally create and arrange text for printing. These new technologies allowed for faster and more efficient typesetting processes, eliminating the need for the Linotype machine's mechanical and labor-intensive method of setting type.
