Morphology
The meaning 'a method of reproducing text or images' is directly and compositionally derived from 'printing' (ink transfer to produce text/images) combined with 'process' (a sequence of steps). This noun‑noun combination follows regular English compounding patterns and is cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase printing process comes from the old idea of printing as pressing ink onto paper with a press or roller, like stamping letters to make a page. That's why it means a method for 'making many copies' of text or images.
