Hi,

In the meantime I found the correct paper for the i950 and LOVE the outcome.

Does anyone here have a real running costs idea.
How many A4 pictures can you print on an average with the modules, not the standard 5% issues.

I have to make a price for the prints for future customers, and I don't want it to be too high, but also not too low.

I was thinking about € 10,00 ($10,00) for a A4 picture including the time to shoot it.

Greetings,
Frank

I just bought a full set of canon inks for my i950 for $60.14.
I just ran out of my first ink tank (photomagenta) after over 35 4x6 prints and about 25 8x10 prints. The print cost is pretty low, but I don't have an exact figure.

I don't use the i950 for customer prints, I only use it for proofing and and portfolio prints. I send all my customer prints out to a fuji frontier. It's cheap and the fuji crystal archive prints last for over 25years. The canon prints fade pretty quick unless you handle them carefully.
