providers vary on prices..as well as quality..the cheapest isn't always the better in quality.

i learnt it the hard way by going cheap.

my advice is that if you want to print something, build a good relationship with a printer that gives your great quality at reasonable prices.

you'd also need to know abou the types of printing (matt lamination, spot UV and etc.)

you might also want to check out the difference in paper thickness (50-100+grams) so that in future you can recommend approriate materials to client as well.

but as you know, you'll get clients who want cheap results in Malaysia..
