How it's used
印製 carries a more formal or professional nuance than the everyday verb 印. It is typically used in contexts involving commercial production, official documents, or large scale publishing rather than casual home printing. You will often see this term on the copyright page of books or in business correspondence regarding manufacturing.
Examples
Which factory printed this flyer?
They printed thousands of promotional leaflets.

Common mistake
Learners often use 印製 for simple tasks like printing a single document from a home computer, but it sounds overly formal and slightly unnatural in that context. Use the simpler verb 印 for everyday situations like printing homework or a boarding pass.
