How much more clearer do they have to make it? YOU PRINT!!! You never write in all upper case it’s to hard to read. Plus it’s like shouting.

No, when a form asks you to print, you can use uppercase or lowercase letters, they just don’t want you to use cursive. Cursive letters (the loopy writing that connects letters together) is often hard to read. When you separate each letter from the next, that is called printing. So that’s all it’s asking.

Hope that helps!

Hi Jessica, Please Print, means legible printing, upper or lower or a combination of both. However, it is best to be safe and print in small capital letters if you can or use Capital on the first letter of the word and small letters for the rest of the word. Just make sure it is printing.

good luck to you.

To print means to not write in cursive. It’s hard sometimes to read someones handwriting when it is written in cursive so they ask you to print so it can be clear and it cannot be misunderstood.

It means not to use cursive. Handwriting is different with everyone, and sometimes illegible. Therefore, you’ll see “Please Print”, because printing is generally the same font everywhere.
