I look to see the quality of their facilities. I also try to meet the pressmen. If thet're no good - your job won't be either.
I would never work with a printer I couldn't go see. I think that's a crucial part of the game. Shit - the printing is definately the most important part - who cares what it looks like on screen, right.
anywho - .25" is a large margin for error. Maybe they just say that to cover their own asses. I can't imagine they're that inaccurate.
If you are looking for someone do do large run, perfect bound, magazines - find a printer who specializes in heat set web printing. That's how the pretty magazines are done.
I'm sure your resources aren't tooo limited in Chicago.
and no. I seriously doubt any large publications do their own printing. I can't imagine that's cost effective at all. They do probably work VERY close with their printer, and have a trusting and established relationship with them.
