PRINTERS
There are lots of them out there now. And there are going to be many more. You will find them in large numbers in police departments, the sciences and the manual trades. They can be musicians, cartoonists and criminals. There are many who simply pose as average citizens, but don't be fooled by them. They are very competent at what they do. They are sociable, have a wry sense of humor and enjoy people. They have a very high self regard and get through life with fewer emotional scars than the rest of us, taking great satisfaction in their careers. They have a pragmatic, almost cynical view of life, with the great ability to sense that the world is mad. But don't, please don't, ask these people to make any long term emotional commitments. They don't mind being your partner as long as they are in control of the situation, or at least, are not being told what to do. Don't ask them to tell you how much they like you because in reality, their loyalties are to themselves. Some of the unscrupulous ones will con and cheat you, and the more evolved will respect you if you can show them you are worth your mettle. These are fascinating group of people that we all know but don't immediately recognize. Who are these people? They are printers.

THIS MAN WAS GENIUS!!!
Printers, I'm surrounded! As mentioned before, I discovered there was no Santa because I recognized her block, all-caps printing. My husband also prints, a habit he says he's picked up from his long time trade. The reasons people tell me they print are numerous. Everything from wanting to be legible to being able to write faster, ironically, I"ve seen printing that is very illegible. As for writing faster, I don't think so, cursive writing was designed to have more speed. Whatever the answer, the majority of printers are private folks. They don't want to let everyone see who they are. The connecting strokes in handwriting analysis are the ones that are easiest to "read". Once again, a reminder, no trait is always the hard fast rule, but in most cases, this is true. Some people say print can't be analyzed, but I disagree. There are many of the same traits, placement, size and pressure rules that would still apply to printing.
Printing Samples:
Case No. 1 "DJ" and "R"
Samples of subject "DJ's" and "R's" printing:
As you can see, the placement, baseline, size, spacing and even the slant of these writer's printing is still evident.
