Digital BW, The Print

Bill,
If you have good customers that trust you and REALLY like what you do  
and how you do it, the trust should be a two way street. And I would  
certainly not want to be the only holder of their "adjusted ready to  
print" file, just in case something happens on my end. I have always  
given them the file, and the reprint orders keep coming in. Sure I  
have no idea what they are doing with them, but I trust them. Of  
course this is a business decision we made for the way we do business  
and has worked for us.
Mark
