/pɹɪnt/
When used as a noun to describe the size of letters (e.g., "small print"), it is typically an uncountable noun. In modern usage, "print" often refers specifically to digital printing via a computer, though it still applies to traditional ink-on-paper methods like offset or letterpress. Be careful not to confuse the verb "to print" (producing text) with "to paint," although both involve applying a substance to a surface.
