I started collecting misprinted pages from local printers to use in my bindings. Cuts down on waste and adds character.

Adds character" is putting it lightly, my dude. I picture someone opening your book to a page that's just solid cyan ink with half a tax form bleeding through. Hope your local printer isn't the one that does menus, or you'll get a recipe book with spaghetti carbonara instructions in the middle of a mystery novel. It's a cool idea though, makes every copy totally unique in a potentially chaotic way.

That "half a tax form bleeding through" scenario is too real. I had a batch of zines come back with bits of a grocery store flyer on them. My advice, parker_hunt61, is to find a local printer that mostly does band posters or art prints. They usually have cleaner machines and older paper stock that's less likely to have ghost documents baked into it. You might still get a weird smudge or a paper imperfection, but it's way less likely to be a full-on lasagna recipe interrupting your climax.
