Printer Emoji 🖨️

What 🖨️ means

A rectangular electronic with an input tray in front and a paper holder behind with a couple of sheets in it. The 🖨️ Printer emoji represents the technology of printing that comes in handy across many personal and professional spheres.

How and when to use it

• Although getting something in print refers to a publication, you could use 🖨️ in everyday contexts too. Printing or publishing something essentially means that something is newsworthy. So, if you're sarcastically or genuinely responding to something fitting, use 🖨️.
• Examples, "Oh my god. Why didn't I think of that! I'll put that in print as a reference for the others 🖨️" or "Why don't you put everything I say in print? 🖨️ You seem to love publicizing everything anyway" (ouch).
• You could also use 🖨️ while suggesting that something is in fine print. Yes, it does represent a font, but it could also refer to something that needs to be specifically looked for or looked into - "See, personal stuff like that is fine print, dude 🖨️. Not everyone can see it nor do they have to. The ones who want to, will".
• 🖨️ could also be used as an indication of 'printing money'. If you're posting or reposting content related to the bank, money, or just about how you wish you could make more money, use this emoji. Like, "I just wish I could print all the money I need 🖨️".
