Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The earliest print technology was created in China, Japan, and Korea, not Europe. The method of manual printing was employed there. From AD 594, books were printed in China by rubbing paper, also made against the inked surface of woodblocks. Before finally returning to Italy in 1295, explorer Marco Polo spent several years travelling in China. Marco Polo brought this knowledge of woodblock printing back with him. Italians were the first to use woodblock printing to produce books, and the practice swiftly spread to the rest of Europe.
Hence the correct statement would be that the earliest form of printing was done in China, Japan, and Korea.
