  Some things i've discovered about digital printing...
  I've found that coated stocks tend to work better for digital printing - sappi + mccoy have a couple nice digital stocks. Matte paper tends to become more brittle after the ink has been set on the paper and if you're folding it can easily crack and/or tear.

  Large floods of solid color almost always have issues with banding and/or spotting. I've not found a good way to manage this yet but I think just working with the printer to identify the problems goes a long way.

  And always... always request proofs.

  Unfortunately working with an online company again you are sort of at their whim. I guess you could haggle them for reprints... you just have to decide if it's worth it.
