softcopies
Files, not printouts
Softcopies is the plural of softcopy, a document or file stored in digital form rather than printed on paper.
The term contrasts with hardcopy—a physical printout you can hold.
Softcopies can be emailed, edited, and stored indefinitely without taking up physical space: Send me the softcopies and I'll review them tonight.
