الأخطاء الشائعة في الطباعة
- Wrong method for order size — Digital for 10,000 pcs = too expensive
- Wrong method for design — Flexo for a complex full-color design = not sharp enough
- No print proof — Colors look different on screen vs. print
- Ignoring MOQ — Too small order for offset = high cost
- Wrong paper for method — Kraft paper doesn’t print full-color well
