tisknutý

Tisknuté is a Czech adjective formed from the verb tisknout (to print or to press). It denotes something that has been produced by printing or pressing, and it is used to describe printed matter, typographic form, or inscriptions. The term is common in publishing, typography, and archival descriptions to distinguish printed material from handwritten or drawn items.

In practice, tisknuté describes text, pages, documents, or typefaces that originate in printing rather than handwriting. It is often used in contrast with ručně psané (handwritten) or psané perem (written by hand) forms. In library and archival contexts, it helps label items as printed editions or print reproductions.

Forms and grammar: the past passive participle agrees with the noun. masculine singular is tisknutý, feminine singular tisknutá, and neuter singular as well as plural forms are tisknuté. Examples: tisknutý dokument (a printed document), tisknuté stránky (printed pages), tisknuté písmo (printed type/lettering).

Historically, the concept reflects the introduction and spread of movable-type printing in the Czech lands from the 15th century onward. Today, tisknuté remains a standard descriptor in linguistics, typography, and bibliographic descriptions to indicate material produced by printing rather than by hand.
