Freelance graphic designers???
When freelance designing, is it common for the designer to gather printing estimates...if so, is the hourly rate the same as the rate for the actual designing? Also, what is usually generally included on the bill for any given freelance job??

This is tough. It kind of depends on how established you are and who you're working for. It sounds like you're being contracted directly by the client? You have to work all this out when you're being contracted for the job. You can't quote a price and then come back and say oh yea the printing costs this much. The price of everything should ALWAYS be agreed on and signed off before you do any work. Your worst enemy is a surprise expense that you have to present to them. Just bill them what you agreed on. If you agreed to bill on time, then bill ontime. Don't bill them for every little receipt. Just save it for a big write off on your taxes. As a general rule of thumb Graphic Designers should be friends with every printer and printer rep they meet. They're your best friends
