Quotes from this Episode: 

“You know when a printer tells you that this paper prints better, you got to trust them because they know what they’re talking about way more than you know what works best for them.”

If it’s important enough to write down, it gives it some weight, you know, so anything that’s worth writing down in a book means something, whether it’s now or in the future.
