(again, depending on the style of music). It's also a good practice to hear what your mix will sound like with possibly a heavier dose of compression. The band is going to compare it to records they like, and come back with questions like 'why does blah blah blahs record sound louder' or punchier, etc. What I normally do when printing mixes for the client, is add a limiter on the master buss. Assuming you have something you like, stick with it. Don't want to get stuck having to recall/remix if suddenly the lead vocal is too soft or loud. This will ensure the end product sounds like the same song you and the artist have been listening to all along, and leaves less guess room for what your mix will sound like when it returns from mastering. If you are using a mix buss compressor, start with it engaged and keep it on when you print your final mix. This is subjective of course but some styles of music will sound much better with well-executed buss compression, while other more organic recording styles will benefit from less compression / more dynamics.
