dead-tree
Not digitally published
Dead-tree is informal, often humorous shorthand for printed rather than digital: I still prefer the dead-tree version of the newspaper.
The term highlights that paper comes from trees, usually with mild irony about the old-fashioned nature of physical media in a digital age: dead-tree books, dead-tree edition.
