hardcopies
Printed physical records
Hardcopies is the plural of hardcopy—physical printed documents as opposed to digital files.
The term emerged with computing to distinguish paper output from what remains on screen: I need hardcopies of the contract for the meeting.
Also spelled as two words: hard copies.
