Character with urge for printed text (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

letterpress

'printed text' is the definition.
(type of printed text)

'character with urge' is the wordplay.
'character with' becomes 'letter' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'urge' becomes 'press' (synonyms).
'letter'+'press'='LETTERPRESS'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for letterpress that I've seen before include "reading matter" , "Text, not illustrations; printing from raised type" , "Printing technique" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
