Print revolution is basically the changes that took place in the field of print.
before printing presses were invented by Guthenburg, all reading matter was written out by hand, so was SLOW to produce,and therefore very expensive. As most people couldn't read, it was okay.When printing revolution happened, printed materials became mass produced so were cheaper and available to far more people. As literacy improved, all this reading material meant that people were able to
a) know more things
b) think more deeply
c) question the status of adminisrationSo the printing revolution facilitated social reform

A printing press is a device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a print medium (such as paper or cloth), thereby transferring the ink. This was a dramatic improvement on earlier printing methods in which the cloth, paper or other medium was brushed or rubbed repeatedly to achieve the transfer of ink, and accelerated the process. Typically used for texts, the invention and spread of the printing press was one of the most influential events in the second millennium.[1][2]
Gutenberg, a goldsmith by profession, developed a printing system, by adapting existing technologies to printing purposes, as well as making inventions of his own. Printing in East Asia had been prevalent since the Tang dynasty,[3][4] and in Europe, wood block printing based on existing screw presses were extant by the 1300's. Gutenberg's most important innovation was the development of hand-molded metal printing matrices, thus producing a movable type based printing press system. His newly devised hand mould made possible the precise and rapid creation of metal movable type in large quantities. Movable type had been hitherto unknown in Europe. In Europe, the two inventions, the hand mould and the printing press, together drastically reduced the cost of printing books and other documents, particularly in short print runs.
