• Relying on only one printer can sometimes mean you are settling for less quality. Some printers may accept a job even though they don't have the particular know-how or equipment to do the job right. They may also end up contracting the work to someone else.
• Always ask for cheaper options on paper type and ink, but be careful not to skimp on quality.
