While I'm not in that game anymore my father still is and has a wide range of contacts.
On the cost side of things, with full colour printing it's more economical to keep the number of pages in multiples of 16 (ie, 32, 64 etc), as this is the largest that most machines can print. These sections will cover the "text" pages, and then it's a simple matter of setting the 4 page cover to run on a smaller size press (usually printing 2 covers on the one sheet)
I hope none of that was too baffeling, trying to keep it in non-print terminology!!
Cheers,
Benno.

Thanks Ben - I'd appreciate that. I'm in pre-press, so understand your thoughts on page imposition completely. I'm looking at using a short-run service based on an Indigo digital press, not offset. The reason for this is to totally avoid the cost of setup and a minimal print run, and concentrate of the per-unit cost that only digital printing affords us the luxury of. We don't want to hold stock, and be able to order short numbers (a few copies to maybe dozens) as required.
Could I ask that you PM me to discuss further?
