'printed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'material reported remuneration model for clothing based on usage?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'material' could be 'paper' (paper is a kind of material) and 'paper' is located in the answer.
'on' could be 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to') and 're' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'wa' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
