Dkevdog Member  199 posts Joined Feb 2011 Location: Southern California More info | We still print proofs for Seniors when asked to do so but we do try and push them to digital proofs on line. When we do print they are 8 to a page with a border, so about 2x3" and we digitally watermark before printing. 5D Mk III Gripped - 1D Mk III - 7D Gripped - 17-40L ~ 24-105L ~ 70-200L 2.8 IS II - 100-400L ~ 100L ~ 300 f/2.8 ISL~ 8-15L Fisheye -Sigma 50mm 1.4 ~ Sigma 85mm 1.4 - 35mm 2.0 - other lenses and goodies (I'm a hoarder!) 600EX-RT - 220ex - Mettle's - Pixel King's

Gotcha. I guess if I had a couple that really wanted it I'd give them every image as 4x6 and maybe 5-10 8x10s and charge at least 50% of what it costs you as a markup. -Adam

Feb 20, 2013 19:39 | #10 Thanks for the input, guys! Anyone find prints from a pro lab cheaper than $0.69 for 4x6? I'm also just considering 3.5x5 just to keep the costs less outrageous..

My client's hardly want prints. They are more interested in getting high quality digital files. Besides asking the price for my photography service, the next question is always "Can I get a disk or flash drive with all of the pictures?". Canon 5D3, 5D2, 40D
