Jeez, printing in the US is expensive.

I've just tallied up the print costs via the UK lab I use and it comes to £150 ($245) plus you can buy 250 3 inch buttons for $50 so call it $300 tops or less than $3 per person.

Based on my recent pricing I would be charging in the region of $50 per person but if it is guaranteed sales to all 115 I'd discount this further - probably down to around $30 - $35.

How much does your lab charge for an 8x10?

8x10,5x7 all for $25???!!
I did something similar 3 years ago but only with 1 8x10 and I was charging $75 per person x70 people

It seems at this time it's barely covers the cost. The cost of BUSINESS(insurance,cam​eras,education,process​ing,etc) is not included.

Below are dollar prices based on an exchange rate of £1 = $1.61615. these prices are for 1-99 prints and there are some volume discounts available.

6x4 - $ 0.18
7x5 - $ 0.26
9x6 - $ 0.52
10x8 - $ 0.81
12x8 - $ 0.89
14x11 - $ 1.70
16x12 - $ 1.78
18x12 - $ 1.94

Printed on Fuji standard crystal archive for glossy prints and Fuji DP Professional paper for Lustre.

It looks to me that I could print over here, ship to the US and still make a handsome profit :)

Unless I'm overlooking something, I do believe I hate you Brits. :-|

What was this for? That's a lot of money for an 8x10. I'm not saying you aren't worth that, but no way could I charge that and not get lynched.

Yeah, fuel costs make me sick over here.

Unleaded fuel over here is the equivalent of $2.17 a litre or $8.21 for a US Gallon.

I miss high school. I had a 50mpg car and fuel was 87 cents a gallon. Of course I only made 5 bucks an hour but still. :)

I think the package is a bit cheap.
I'd go up on that price.. maybe $37.50 each?
You'd still be low bidder and make it more worth your while.
Don't sell yourself short.
