Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Gutenberg press technology developed in 1448 was based on hand printing. It was quite slow as compared to present-day printing technology. The Gutenberg press used metal imitated letters for printing, which was a slow process. The first book that was published was the Bible. The Gutenberg press was used for the next 300 years till the mechanical printing press was developed. Many printing presses were established across Europe based on the Gutenberg model and printed millions of books. The present press technology prints millions of books in a single day which was not possible for the press of the 15th century.
Hence, the correct statement would be present press technology is much faster than the Gutenberg press.
