so I went to print with a job and had a bid that the client and I were happy with. Once the printer had the files they changed the price because their quote person didn't understand the scope(but the sales rep did). Now the job will cost 50% more than originally quoted.
It sucks but I guess that's the way it is. just ranting...

how funny...we just fired our printer because they did a similar thing. they basically didn't honour their quote, thinking we were on a tight schedule (which we are) and would be too desperate to argue.
we found another printer in 2 hours and fired them...they fired their rep and a day later called to apologize.
ya snooze, ya lose...suckas!

their new bid was like 20% over every other bid I got and they didn't even own any of their mistakes. It's for a non profit and some other printer offered a discount because of it. Not cool...

Just a very detailed description and sketch unfortunately
It's a six page newsletter with one large sheet folded with a insert that makes pages3-4. They didn't count the insert.

reneged is a cool word.
