A printed name is simply the name written out so that it can be read by people (signatures might not be easy to read, so people will ask for both sometimes). A signature is often written in cursive, for things like contracts, checks, etc., it is the individual's own way of writing their name.
Each process of printing is split into pre-press, press, and post-press steps. Prepress operations include steps during which the idea of a printed image, such as a plate, cylinder, or screen, is converted into an image carrier.

Prints have a straight edge that is clean, often created by the plate used to create the work. One of the best ways to spot a print is to look at the surface of a painting with a magnifying glass.
