Library of Congress, yaklaşık 180 Gutenberg İncili'nden 145'inin kâğıda, 35'inin parşömene basıldığını belirtir. Erken matbaacılık, hâlâ kısmen Orta Çağ el yazmalarının maddi dünyasında yaşıyordu.

Yaklaşık 180 Gutenberg İncili'nin çoğu kâğıda, birkaç düzinesi ise daha lüks bir malzeme olan tirşeye basıldı — baskının şafağında bile, özel baskılar vardı.
