There's a small group of Sometimes cards that initially were contain spelling mistakes. However, these are not considered as misprints, since because they contain an official error accidentally generated before the production began, but once the problem was informed, the company which produces the occur on all cards decided it was so insignificant in that continued the production using the same plate. As a result, the entire print run of this printings contains the same error so they don't count as defects. These Usually cards usually only have one or two letters misplaced, which in most cases are not noticeable. Since all of these cards in circulation have this small mistake, hardly any can be considered is often difficult to be valuable misprints. Note this same criteria is also used when printing books, newspapers, advertising, etcnotice.

{{Cleanup}}[[File:DarkCalling-DP22-KR-C-UE-Misprint.png|thumb|A copy of "[[Dark Calling]]", showing a printing ink runout error.]]An actual '''misprint ''' results from a malformed printing plate. Usually, the printing plate contains a design error made before the plates were manufactured. Plates are inspected and, if necessary, discarded before card production begins. Unfortunately, malformed printing plates pass inspection on occasion, and some cards print with this error. Once the mistake is identified, the defective plate is discarded and replaced by a new one, and misprinted cards are destroyed before they are packaged. These misprints must escape this last quality assurance also, and their rarity gives them their collectible value.
However, if the printing plate is not destroyed and substituted by a new one, the error cannot be considered as a defect, since production took the conscious decision to continue printing with a malformed plate. Misprints are supposed to happen by a combination of accidental errors before the production starts, and by definition, are supposed to be extremely rare. If production continues while the problem is acknowledged and no intervention occurs, there is no accidental error and cannot be considered defected.
During production, cards are sometimes printed with flaws. In some cases, these printing errors add no value to the card. Cards, for example, that are printed when the press runs out of ink are not official misprints. Printing presses cannot be easily stopped, so it's very common that cartridges run out of ink before they can be refilled. While quality control usually prevents this situation, it can happen with some regularity since a press needs time to refill properly. Cards that have chopped edges or unevenly cut borders are not misprints. After card sheets are printed, precisely aligned blades cut the sheet into individual cards. At some point, the cutting blades become dull or misaligned, and this results in imprecise cuts and irregular edges.

===Spelling mistakes===
==Unofficial misprints (production printing defects):==
Due to the nature of the printing process, the press needs to be constantly supervised and re-calibrated. The printing plates are supposed to be perfectly aligned to respect each others position. From time to time, due to the printing press vibrations, one of the plates loses its proper alignment, producing cards with their names, artwork or texts out of their original positions. These cards can be considered as a production failure, but not as official misprints, since the printing plates are not defective. The plates just need to be re-aligned.
Similar as the ink filling problem, the press is fed with several different paper rolls of different weight. The paper rolls are also mixed with an Aluminum foil roll to produce the Yu-Gi-Oh! foil cards. Sometimes, one of the rolls runs out and is later replaced, producing as a result cards thinner or thicker than usual, cards that have the foil on top or back of the card, or cards without any foil at all.
* Some copies of "[[Gemini Elf]]", "[[Magic Cylinder]]", "[[Ring of Destruction]]" and "[[Lava Golem]]" from ''[[Invasion of Chaos: Special Edition]]'' have the name out of the card name box.
* Some copies of [[Gold Rare]]s from ''[[Gold Series 4: Pyramids Edition]]'' have double names, one of them printed at the bottom of the card name box.
* Some copies of [[Secret Rare]]s from ''[[Hidden Arsenal]]'' have multiple names.
* Some copies of [[Ghost/Gold Rare]]s from ''[[Gold Series: Haunted Mine]]'' have the art out of place.
* Some copies of [[Ghost Rare]]s from ''[[Ghosts From the Past: The 2nd Haunting]]'' have the art out of place.
===Mismatches===
Several different printing plates are used to produce one sheet of cards. A plate set for a specific run of cards is usually composed of four plates - one for each color, plus one or two extra plates for the special finish of some cards (gold or silver lettering, shining cover for parallel rares, etc). Sometimes, one of the printing plates does not belong to the same set. By mistake, one of the plates is mounted on the press from a different sheet set. As a result, several sheets are printed with their names switched with other cards, sometimes of different rarity. In these cases, once the error is discovered, the wrong plate is switched back with the correct one and the production continues. In fact, in most cases, this type of error is easily detected during the initial test run of a sheet and immediately fixed, but few cards can be missed and accidentally packed, hence the reason why mismatches can be easily found on the streets. These cards do not count as official misprints for two reasons: the plates aren't defective and there's no need to create a new one and the correct plate simply is placed back on its correspondent position, and in most cases the mismatch was produced as part of an initial test printing. Cards printed during the initial test are supposed to be discarded before the main production begins (see below Production test prints).
* Some copies of "[[Dragon Ice]]" from the 1st edition ''[[Gladiator's Assault]]'' were printed with the wrong name "[[Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union]]".
* Some [[Ghost Rare]] copies of "[[Elemental HERO Chaos Neos]]" from the 1st Edition ''[[Gladiator's Assault]]'' were printed with the wrong name "[[Rainbow Dragon]]".
* Some [[Ghost Rare]] copies of "[[Rainbow Dragon]]" from the ''[[Tactical Evolution: Special Edition]]'' were printed with the wrong artwork of "[[Elemental HERO Chaos Neos]]". This effect monster misprint is much harder to find than its misprinted Fusion monster counterpart.
* All 30 [[Rare]]s from the ''[[Dark Beginning 1]]'' set reprinted in the English language European ''[[Collectible Tins 2005 Collectors Tins]]'' have their names swapped with the names of the Rares from ''[[Dark Beginning 2]]''.
* Some copies of "[[Tri-Horned Dragon]]" and "[[Gaia the Dragon Champion]]" from the unlimited edition ''[[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]'' set reprinted in the ''[[2002 Booster Pack Tins]]'' have the title name printed in [[Ultra Rare]] instead of [[Secret Rare]] lettering foil.
* Some copies of all 18 [[Rare]]s from the unlimited edition ''[[Tactical Evolution]]'' set reprinted in the ''[[Collectible Tins 2007 Collectors Tins]]'' have the title name printed in [[Secret Rare]] lettering foil.
* The early print of [[1st Edition]] German ''[[Cosmo Blazer]]'' had all of the [[Secret Rare]]s printed with foil sheet of the other [[Secret Rare]]s instead of their own. For example "[[Diamond Dire Wolf]]" that uses the background foil finish of "[[Mystical Fairy Elfuria]]". This error was fixed in the subsequent 1st edition release of the set after the [[Sneak Peek]].
* Some copies of "[[Raigeki]]" from ''[[Dark Beginning 1]]'' were printed with the Attribute symbol with foil covering.
* Some [[Ultra Rare]] copies of "[[Infernity Dwarf]]" and "[[Infernity Guardian]]" from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2009: Stardust Accelerator promotional cards]]'' set were printed with the Attribute symbol with foil covering.* Some copies of "[[Cyber End Dragon]]" and "[[Cyberdark End Dragon]]" from ''[[Structure Deck: Cyber Strike]]'' were printed with the foil sheet of the other card in addition to their own. The far-left stars of the monsters' Levels are double stamped and the image foiling of the other card can be seen as a blue outline.* A few copies of all [[Ultimate Rare]]s from ''[[OTS Tournament Pack 20]]'' don't have foiling over the card.
=====Any card with incorrect security foil=====Some cards are printed in [[1st Edition, but instead of the golden square at the bottom right corner they ]] cards have the silver square[[security foil]], like an and reciprocally some [[Unlimited Edition card. Reciprocally, some ]] cards are printed in Unlimited Edition, but instead of the silver square at the bottom right corner have the golden square, like a 1st Edition cardgold security foil.<!-- this needs actual examples -->
===Production test prints===
Since preparing the press to print a specific set of cards is a labor that takes several hours, prior to the main run, several test sheets are printed to determine if the printing press has been properly calibrated. This production test includes all possible variations a card may have. The most common is a series of CMYK stripes initially printed to corroborate if the press has the appropriate amount of ink all over the printing roll. Once it has been tested, these production tests are discarded and trashed. However, since cut and packing is part of the entire production line, sometimes few of these test cards can be packed by accident, and are included in few boosters. Few of these [[Test Print]]s cards have significant value, since they are have no actual purpose except for being a curiosity. [[File:Blank-EN-1E.png|thumb]] EXAMPLES:
