Build a Collaborative Relationship With Your Printer

1. The printer has more leverage over price, since it purchases paper for many catalogs, for example, from the same mills.

2. Cash flow is better for you, the customer, if the printer buys paper. Most paper companies will expect payment before your job even goes to press.

3. If the paper is unusable (rare, but does happen), the printer is expected to deal with the paper mill, not you.
