"пълен печат" is not relevant to "пълна печатна версия" in this case.
James McVay (asker) Sep 20, 2007:
Should have said "translated from English to Bulgarian."

I'm a native English speaker going from Bulgarian to English. I wanted to get native opinion on this one, because I'm doing a back translation of a document translated from Bulgarian to English, and I suspected that this term wasn't translated correctly. I apologize for not saying that right off, but I didn't want to prejudice anybody's judgment.

you can check this website, if this makes you more confident

it is translated in BG as well, full in your case means just "пълна"
Iolanta Vlaykova Paneva Sep 19, 2007:
do you translate to English or to Bulgarian? language pairs of your question are Bulgarian to English
James McVay (asker) Sep 19, 2007:
No Google hits I googled "пълна печатна версия" and got no hits. I also googled "пълен печат" and got one hit, in an ad for a printer, where it means "full color printing." Here's what the ad says:
"102 кари/час двистранен печат при пълен печат от едната страна и черен печат от другата(YMCKOК)"

"Full color printing" doesn't work here, by the way. ;-)

it is "full printed version "-:)

full print version

I think this refers to something which:
- is subject to commercial printing (regardless of whether it has already been printed or not); and
- may (or does) exist in non-printed (e.g. electronic) form.

"Full print version" is the version which:
- is full, i.e. not abridged;
- is adapted to the specific requirements of producing AND using a printed material - as opposed to producing and using an electronic (or other) original, database etc.

As an example, imagine a dictionary in its printed (full and pocket), online and CD versions: same functionality, different usage and production specifics.

I'd suggest "print" (version), not "printED": the material may have already been printed, or not, but even if it exists only as press-ready files, it's still a *print* version.

IMO the phrase does not refer to desktop printing - therefore "printable" or "hard copy" are not appropriate.

agree Ivan Klyunchev : Sounds very plausible and has about 19,300 hits in Google.

hard copy of the complete(d) project

I think it refers to the submittal of a hard copy as opposed to submittalk on a floppy/cd.; also it suggests submittal of the whole/finished project and not of parts of it.

agree invguy : Another good option, indeed - provided the material has already been printed and is known as Edition XYZ.

full, unabridged version

IMHO, it means full version as opposed to short version
