Module 2.04: Pricing the Print (Screens, Setup & Quantity)
Welcome, Class!
Kumusta, future print shop experts! This is perhaps the most important Decobest University module you will need to learn. I am going to be honest with you: I am about to drop A LOT of information on you. You might need to read this module two or three times before it fully sinks in.
