Your Printer, Your Partner

What's more, changing printers can result in butt rolls of leftover paper. Paper also can arrive damaged. If you've purchased the paper directly, often you're left to deal with the merchant or the paper mill, which can affect your press date.

Also, if the printer has a press problem as a result of the paper, it's your responsibility. This can result in press downtime at a rate of up to $1,000 per hour.
