misprinting
Botched print jobs
Misprinting is the act or process of printing something incorrectly—whether a typo, garbled text, or production error.
The term covers both the mistake itself and the action of making it: The misprinting of ballots caused confusion at polling stations.
A single error is a misprint; misprinting describes the phenomenon or ongoing activity.
