In other words, if your print costs start creeping up as a percentage of revenue, something may be out of whack in your work flow. If you haven't actually considered printing costs as a percentage of revenue on a per-job basis, it's an interesting exercise.

an email, and if we get 5-10 answers, results will be posted in the April
