print

Not cursive writing

To print is to transfer words and images to a surface, usually using ink on paper.

If you print a document, chances are that you are just sending it to your printer to do the work.

The noun print refers to anything that results from this process or one like it (print of a Monet painting, print from a photographic negative).

To print also means to write in separate letters by hand.

Such writing, whether by hand or machine, is also called print: Be sure to read the fine print.
