Couple of points:
1. The stock can make or break a fold - you can have a laser print on 24# come out fine, but if the jobs prints on 100# chromecoat.....
2. A safe step is to leave enough margin in your layout to minimize miscalculated folds. Betweeen the plate (or film and plate) and press and folder and cutter, you have multiple chances for a misalignment.
