prints

Outputs on paper

Prints are images or text reproduced from a plate, block, or digital file—woodcuts, lithographs, photographs, or copies from a printer.

The word also refers to fabric patterns: a floral print dress.

Prints left at a crime scene are fingerprints.

In plural, prints often means printed photographs: I ordered prints from the drugstore.
