Big quwstion there. Sometimes you can charge less and keep the psd files. This way they have to come back to you for changes. Or charge more and give them all files. The best thing to do here is to call some of your local outsource companys to get an idea of what the going rate in your area is. Things to keep in mind are: They will not like the first take. (do not take this as they don't like your work but they had something else in mind). If you keep files, burn them on a open CD with date stamps. If your work is going to print, you will need a good printer like an Alps 5000 to print your samples on. ( it does not go over well when you bring in something and say "it will look better when it's printed with a good printer") Only show them the work that "you" are happy with. (this one sounds odd but it's hard to work on something that you can't stand) Get some PMS standards. (This will help out everyone. Most print houses like to use PMS colors in there printers. Also you will know what color it will be when done.) Just a few to get ya started.

You can't call it work if you love it... Zen Tambour
