There isn't a single "scientific name" for printing. Printing is a process with many variations and a long history, so there's no one scientific term encompassing it all.

However, depending on the specific printing method, some terms used in science and technology include:

* Lithography: A printing technique based on the principle of oil and water repelling each other.

* Gravure: A printing technique where an image is etched into a metal plate.

* Screen printing: A printing technique where ink is pushed through a mesh screen onto a substrate.

* Digital printing: A printing technique that uses digital images to create prints.

So, while there's no single scientific name for printing, we can use specific terms to describe different printing methods and their underlying principles.
