印刷术 (yìnshuāshù, "printing technique") is formed from 印 (yìn, "stamp") + 刷 (shuā, "brush or rub") + 术 (shù, "technique"), so its parts point to making copies by transferring marks.

Usage tips

  • In everyday conversation, 印刷术 (yìnshuāshù, "printing technique") is a formal noun for the technology or process as a whole, not usually for one document produced by a home printer.
