Character with urge for printed text (11)
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" .)
