Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular at once: people who make prints, the operators or owners of presses, and the machines beside a computer, three-dimensional ones included. One reading is easy to miss. By metonymy, printers can name a printing business itself, so the word may stand for a single firm rather than a group of workers or machines.
