What
is
fine
print?
Fine
print
is
usually
associated
with
advertisements.
The
fine
print
of
an
advertisement
is
information
written
in
a
much
smaller
font
than
the
rest
of
the
advertisement.
Fine
print
often
includes
drawbacks
of
what
is
being
sold
in
the
advertisement,
usually
because
the
advertisers
do
NOT
want
you
to
read
this
information.
