Finishing such as lamination, mounting, grommets, or contour cuts

Check before signing

Setup or plate fees charged per unit or per reorder instead of once per design
A substrate quietly downgraded from the spec you asked for
Rush surcharges applied to a standard timeline

Give the printer a flexible ship date

About channel letter sign - deposit pricing

Why do two quotes for the same poster differ so much?

Usually substrate or finishing, not the printing itself. Ask both vendors to quote the identical substrate and finish and the gap normally closes.

Is a setup fee normal?

Yes for short runs, but it should be charged once per design, not per unit and not again on a reorder of the same file.
