Explanation
This is a casual loanword from English “print” and is widely used in everyday conversations at schools and workplaces. It commonly takes the item being printed as its object, as in ปริ้นเอกสาร “print a document” or ปริ้นรูป “print a photo.” Adding ออกมา emphasizes that something is being produced as a physical copy. เครื่องปริ้น is an informal term for a printer; เครื่องพิมพ์ is preferred in more formal contexts.
Usage
Commonly used at school, at work, or in print shops when asking someone to print documents, reports, tickets, or photos, or when checking whether something has been printed. It sounds especially natural in conversation and chat messages.
Caution
ปริ้น is widely understood but is a casual, nonstandard spelling. In formal writing, พิมพ์ or พิมพ์เอกสาร is safer. Because พิมพ์ can also mean “type,” พิมพ์ออกมา can be used when you need to make it clear that a physical copy is being printed.
