As a draftsman doing engineering drawings for a few years I learned to print very very neatly and quickly. I digitized my printing into a font and it is being used on all the CAD drawings today. As a matter of interest the first few drafting drawing lessons in school are "How to Print".
To print quickly you have to think like cursive, but get off your lazy butt and lift the pen between letters. It's faster because you can go in a straight line from the end of one letter to the beginning of the next. You can also make short cuts like beginning A B D H K M N P R at the bottom and drawing up making the first stroke from bottom to top instead of beginning the first stroke from top to bottom. Example for writing A, draw / from bottom to top, then \ from top to bottom. It is one less stroke than / from top to bottom then back up to the top and \ from top to bottom. It's like most people make a W and not lifting the pen, down, up, down, up.
