Most people think printing costs are just ink and paper. The truth is, printing isn’t just about what comes out of the machine—it’s everything that happens behind the scenes. Sometimes the real cost isn’t obvious until you calculate how much time, material, and productivity is being lost every month.

So let’s settle it: What’s the one cost that surprises you the most in your printing experience, and why?
