Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The print revolution was brought about by the shift from hand to mechanical printing. Most European nations installed printing presses between the years 1450 and 1550. German printers travelled to other countries in search of employment and to assist in establishing new presses. Production of books increased as the number of printing presses increased. As a result, 20 million printed books flooded the European marketplaces in the second half of the fifteenth century. In the sixteenth century, there were roughly 200 million copies produced. Thus, the print revolution was sparked. Hence, the statement is true.
