I have a small print business. Sometimes prints are off in a way that doesn’t make the print look bad, but we can’t sell it to the client because we know it’s off. our bad.

If we still feel the print is OK and would look good, we let them have it. If we feel that the print would look bad, we trash it. Our bad. The idea is what you worried about in your post. You’re afraid it would be a minus to your reputation due to the obvious sub-standard quality. Up to you what to do, but it happens. In fact it happens enough that you need to learn to figure misprints into your costs.

Printing business here in Seattle. It’s been a rough, up and down year. November is usually a strong month, but we’re just barely making it. Doesn’t look good. But large companies doing stock buy backs seem to be doing well.
