Print short clue on it that's cryptic (7)
I believe the answer is:
linocut
'print' is the definition.
(I know that linocut is a type of print)
'short clue on it that's cryptic' is the wordplay.
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'that's cryptic' indicates an anagram (a cryptic or obscure order of the letters).
'clue' with its last letter taken away is 'clu'.
'clu'+'on'+'it'='cluonit'
'cluonit' anagrammed gives 'LINOCUT'.
(Other definitions for linocut that I've seen before include "Incised printing design" , "design on floor material" , "Type of print made by engraving" , "Design used for printing" , "Left no copper in it" .)
