What are the factors of printing revolution? |
| Answer» Although the invention of the printing press by Johann Gutenberg did not stop the production of handwritten books, it did bring about a paradigm shift in the production process and the reading patterns. Between 1450 and 1550, the printing press spread to almost all countries of Europe. Printers from Germany even migrated to other parts of the continent, seeking work and setting up presses. As the number of printing presses increased, book production skyrocketed, flooding the market with books. This transition from hand printing to mechanical printing is referred to as \'print revolution\'.\xa0 | |
