Detailed Solution

The above statement is False. Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press.
The German inventor and craftsman Johannes Gutenberg invented a system for printing with a moveable type. His invention included a metal alloy that could melt quickly and oil-based ink, thick enough to adhere well to the metal type. In addition, it helped to transfer to vellum or paper. A new press for applying firm pressure to printing surfaces was introduced, modified from presses used to produce wine and oil. The European letter-stamping method was used then, and woodblock printing lacked all these characteristics. As the new system made books widely available and sparked an "information revolution", Gutenberg's printing press is regarded as a critical historical development. Hence the statement is false.
