Print

Print encompasses several meanings, primarily referring to the act of reproducing text or images on a surface, typically paper. It can also describe the resulting output – the printed material itself. Beyond physical reproduction, 'print' extends to the act of creating an impression or mark, the design or pattern of a textile or other object, and the publishing or distribution of material, such as books or newspapers. Furthermore, it can denote the act of using a printer or the process used for printing, and as well refers to the act of imprinting data to the screen of a program.
