Except of course for all of the things that had never been scribed before at scale, such as maps, timetables, dictionaries, sales catalogues, political pamphlets, and numeric tables / explanatory diagrams. Especially for the latter, printing massively reduced transcription errors, which was a game changer for 'technical' content. We tend to take for granted the radical shifts that printing enabled.

Early printshops were the equivalent of disruptive tech startups, with a mix of tech innovation, capital investment, marketing and sweatshop compared with the old scribe-based printing environments.
