Wydruku

Wydruku is the genitive form of the Polish noun wydruk, which denotes a printed document or the act of printing. In everyday language it is used to refer to the output produced by a printer as well as to the process or cost associated with printing. The term appears in phrases such as koszt wydruku (cost of printing), jakość wydruku (print quality), rozmiar wydruku (print size) and liczba kopi wydruku (number of printouts). Because wydruk can describe both a single copy and a set of printed materials, wydruku appears in contexts dealing with quantity, pricing, and specifications.

Printing processes and contexts: In industry and publishing, wydruk can result from several processes, including offset printing (wydruk offsetowy) and digital printing (druk cyfrowy). Other methods such as inkjet or laser printing may also produce a wydruk, with differences in speed, economy, and color fidelity depending on the method and volume. In everyday use, wydruk often refers to a practical, tangible copy produced by a home or office printer.

In computing contexts, the related verb is drukować, meaning to print, while wydruk denotes the resulting printout. Files prepared for printing are commonly saved in formats such as PDF or PostScript, or as image formats that preserve layout. The term wydruk is also used in archival or bibliographic discussions to describe a printed edition or a specific copy of a document.
