I print all my keepers on 6x4. from photobox
I also print anything I really want to frame on 10x8 or 12x6 (which isn't that many actually)

I junk a lot of shots from the computer.
As a percentage of the total shot my printing is probably low. As a precentage of the keepers it's high.

Up until about 10 years ago I use to have all of my film shots printed, then I realised that for me I didn't care most of the time, so it went to about 50%. I always like the look on the counter person's face when I ask them to just develop the film, no prints needed.

With Digital I am running about 1 in 20 photos gets a print for portfolio and portrait sessions and about 1 in 100 for art and sunset sessions.

about 50% as of the last 5 months

i do it professionally now and my packages allow them to get as many poses as they want so most get 30 or 40 3x5 prints all of different poses.

With film, you have to print to appreciate your photos, hence the 98% rate. With digital your percentage will be much, much less because 1) you take more photos generally than if you were shooting with film, 2) you don't have to print to appreciate your photos.

Partly true.

With slide film, I naturally get 100% of the film processed into slides. Of the slides, probably 10% get scanned. On the computer, I can appreciate them, and sometimes the images go to CDR for distribution to friends without ever having been printed on paper.

With digital, probably 1-3% get printed on paper.
