Grain
The direction of the paper grain is critical for smooth operation. It also affects some finishing processes (folding especially). If the ink or toner image crosses the covers and spine, there could be cracking, which means the toner flakes off at the fold; this, however, is less of a problem than ever before. Printing using the proper grain direction will help, but a test is recommended. In digital printing, a proof is a run length of one so you will be able to see the actual effect of the design and the printing. You would not do a makeready for an offset press and then run one impression.
