"I may be inclined to go with a higher bid on a job if I know it's more suited to that particular printer, and they're reliable enough to give me confidence they will do a good job. Of course, a good relationship ties into it, as well. If I get a great price from a printer I've never used before, I still may weigh it less than an average price from a printer I've been working with for years. Trust is a valuable part of a relationship," Giliberto added.
