Answer 2

Hola:

Estoy de acuerdo con Marilo y Julián, en Colombia así se dice.

Encontré lo siguiente en el D R A E:

Letra ~ de imprenta. 1. f. letra de molde. 2. f. La escrita a mano imitando la letra de molde.

Answer 3

Manilo is right, at least in Mexico. Letra de molde is printed form as opposed to Cursive form).

Answer 4

Whenever someone asked me to print my name, they would tell me "escriba su nombre".

Then they would ask me to sign by saying "y firme aquí" or just "firme su nombre".

If it is just on a form, you would put "nombre y apellido".

Answer 5

I'm with Marianne on this one. I don't know of a verb for 'print' in this particular sense you're looking for in Spanish, though that's certainly not to say that it doesn't exist. The dictionary here gives "escribir claramente (con las letras separadas)," which means, "write clearly (with the letters separated)." The dictionary at Word Reference (Oxford) gives "escribir con letra de imprenta." On a form, (as forms don't often include the "please", nice though it is), I I would say, "Escriba su nombre y apellido con letra de imprenta."

Answer 6

nombre y apellido (en tinta)

Answer 7

I'd say:

"Por favor, escriba su nombre claramente."
