Sure, but that's true if you're not counting the labor cost of making tissue... If I were a professional printer who was printing commissioned works (and not carbons only), I would definitely think of using ready-made tissue (as long as it suits the vision of the commissioner) instead of making my own. I could use tissue making time for other - income bringing - activity. Regards, Loris.
