a piece of physical material bearing a repeated pattern created by applying force

Print (noun) means: a piece of physical material bearing a repeated pattern created by applying force. It emerges from piece, material, pattern, press: pressing with force applies a tool to transfer a repeating pattern onto a physical portion, making a new material artifact. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 13, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
