Raised letters that are inked and transferred on paper are called embossed. They are sometimes also raised by using heat and reactive inks.

to set down or express in letters or words on paper.
You write down letters, and they become words. And with these words you can put your ideas onto the paper. SIMPLE!
stationery Just remember 'er' as in 'paper' (If you're thinking about paper and matching envelopes, think also of the "e's" in "letters", the reason that 'stationery' exists.)
I think it's to make it look like the actual paper that Jonas was seeing. So yes, to emphasize it I guess. To make it look real.

Letterpress printing is a particular printing technique which is used for relief printing of texts and images. It was developed around the 15th century. The technique involves reversed, raised locking movable blocks with letters and images, etc, into the bed of a press, where it is inked; after this, paper is rolled or pressed against it to form an impression.
The value of industry shipments of carbon paper and inked ribbons was $624 million in 2001; this was a decrease from 2000's total of $695 million.
If the question is, how does paper print? The top paper goes through the printer, inked, and printed back out :)
Lithography.
Since you put this in the Computer Printers category, i will answer it that way. The type of printer that prints by striking a print head (the letters) on an inked ribbon is a daisy wheelprinter. You rarely see these anymore.
A dot matrix printer or impact printer is a type of computer printer and prints by impact, striking an inked cloth or Mylar ribbon against the paper.
An impact printer
Paper, toner if laser, ink if inkjet, inked ribbon if an impact printer.
A MATRIX Printer, which was the technology prior to the Ink Jet. Also, older typewriters used a Inked Ribbon that was struck by metal Keys.
Relief and intaglio are two distinct printmaking techniques. In relief printmaking, the raised surfaces of a block (such as wood or linoleum) are inked and pressed onto paper, producing an image where the inked areas stand out. Conversely, intaglio involves incising designs into a metal plate; the ink is applied to the entire plate and then wiped off the surface, leaving ink only in the recessed lines, resulting in an image that is recessed below the surface of the paper. These methods yield different visual textures and effects in the final print.
