Vytlaený

Vytlaený (vytlačený in Slovak spelling with diacritics) is a neutral adjective meaning produced by pressing, stamping, or printing. It is used to describe objects or features created through a pressing or transfer process, such as text, motifs, or relief on surfaces. In everyday language it often refers to something that has been printed or embossed.

Etymology and form: The word comes from the verb vytlačiť, formed with the prefix vy- and the root tlačiť (to press, to push). The adjective agrees with the noun it describes in gender and number: vytlačený (masculine), vytlačená (feminine), vytlačené (neuter or plural).

Usage: In printing, vytlačený text or vytlačený nápis describes letters or figures that have been transferred to a surface by a printing process. In manufacturing and minting, it can refer to a raised or recessed design produced by a die or stamp, as in vytlačený reliéf on metal, plastic, or other materials. The term can also apply to packaging or labeling where a motif is created by pressing or embossing. In general prose, it denotes that something has undergone a pressing or printing operation to obtain its visible form.

Grammatical notes: The term is used as an adjective and declines according to gender and number, yielding vytlačený, vytlačená, or vytlačené. It is closely related to, but distinct from, tlačený (simply “printed”) and vyrazený (typically “embossed” or “engraved”).
