What are the main printing costs incurred when printing a newspaper if you have your own printing machine?
Can you answer Leonard K's question about printing?:
I know about the obvious ones like paper, but what other costs are involved as far as the actual printing job is concerned.

Labor, upkeep, electricity, insurance, ink, lithographic plates, folders, collators, bundlers etc.
It's unbelieveable how often something will go wrong with a printing job, so replacement parts and tools are a factor. I'd say labor, paper, and ink are really your main costs of teh actual printing. You also have all the design work ahead of time too, but that might fall under content in the case of a newspaper.
