  • SynonymプリントNeutralLoanword for printing or printed handouts, as in 「プリントを配る」; it can also mean a print (版画). For everyday printing or copies, this is the usual word.
  • Synonym刷りすりNeutralA noun for a printing run that reprints without revision, as in 「第三刷」; mostly publishing jargon, while 「印刷」 names the act of printing itself.
  • Related刷り上げるすりあげるNeutralMeans to finish printing, as in 「ポスターを刷り上げる」; it highlights the completed result, while 「印刷」 refers to printing itself in general.
  • Related刷り出すすりだすNeutralCovers starting to print or printing something out, and also printing for publication; uncommon in everyday speech — 「印刷する」 is the usual choice.

For printing as an activity, say 「印刷する」 — it works in both speech and writing. You can also say 「刷る」; for printed handouts use 「プリント」, for finishing a print run 「刷り上げる」, and to count unrevised printings of a book 「刷」, as in 「第三刷」.
