to me someone who comes from the pressroom. I say no. but from the person who buys it. they say yes. same old question different year. just wanted to get some different opinions.

You never know what your going to get.
I feel it should be based on the job itself.
What type of coverage and piece mailer vs presentation piece and
of course what finishing processes foil, scoring, folding.

Paper represents approximately 1/2 the cost of a job.

its hard to resist the savings of buiyng job lot paper. I think the deciding factor needs to come only when you know your customers expectations. A seasoned print buyer is likely to be more understanding of a sub par job if some of the savings in paper is passed on to him/her!!!
