print edition

Not the website

A print edition is a version of a publication produced on paper, as distinguished from digital or online formats.

Newspapers, magazines, and books may exist in both print and digital editions: The print edition includes photos that didn't make it online.

The term became necessary only after electronic publishing made the medium worth specifying.
