Answer 2

(b) Shift from hand printing to mechanical printing

Explanation:

• Print revolution refers to the advent in Europe of printing technologies, which has led to a massive rise in book numbers for readers. This is regarded as a transition because a radical shift was made in earlier periods in which books were handwritten and very rare.
• While Johann Gutenberg's invention of the printers did not stop the manufacturing of printed books, the production cycle and the reading habits had a paradigm shift. The press expanded to practically every country in Europe between 1450 and 1550.
• Printers from Germany had also traveled to other areas of the mainland to look for jobs and to  set-up press. With the number of printers increasing, the production of books grew and the book market filled with books. The transition from manual to mechanical printing is known as the 'printing revolution'
