print or type your name in contract
合同签字的print和type到底是什么意思呢？专门查了查词典：
print: 即以正体（类似汉字所说的正楷）手写。
各词典解释和比较：
SOED6：Write (letters) separately in the style of printed characters.
各字母独立地书写，方式如印刷字体。
COD：write (words or letters) without joining, in imitation of typography.
不连笔书写，如印刷字体一样。
W3：
to form manually in unjoined characters resembling those of ordinary type.
手写，字母不连笔，类似普通印刷字体。这个解释的亮点是manually，说明用手，但是form这个词增加了理解难度。
WBD：
to write (something) in words or letters that are not connected by lines and look like printing type instead of writing with flowing strokes and the letters joined.
解释较长，后面的flowing stroke增加了理解难度。
Kernerman：
to write words without joining the letters (i.e. not in cursive)
书写，不连笔（即字与字之间不连在一起）
CALD3:
to write without joining the letters together.
简单明白
MED：to write by hand using individual letters that are not joined together.
点出了hand，各字母独立(individual),怕读者不清楚，又加了not joined together.
****
综上所述，本人认为，print一字的解释MED胜出。另外几个词典用了write，须知它也有印刷或打印的意思。
请看：
CALD：to make marks which represent letters, words or numbers on a surface, such as paper or a computer screen, using a pen, pencil or keyboard, or to use this method to record thoughts, facts or messages 计算机打字也可以用write(当然，这个有点儿矫情)。
type：
Write with a typewriter.
用打字机打印。
