Word origin

冲印 (chōngyìn, "develop and print") joins the image-processing sense of 冲 (chōng, "rinse or process") with the paper-output sense of 印 (yìn, "print").

Usage tips

  • A single digital file can produce several copies, so photo orders commonly specify both the number of copies and the paper size.
