William Caxton's printing press was important because the only books wrote in England were by monks because they were the only ones that could read and write therefore books would take ages to write and the spelling would differ from book to book because different people were writing them. so the printing press was important because more books could be printed in and be less time consuming and would not cost as much money which means a bigger profit. William Caxton didn't actually invent the printing press the Chinese did in 600 something AD.
