Its built into the onsite charge.I fiqured my cost per print is about $4.50 Canadian and if you add in the staff its about $7.00 per 8.5"x 11" page.(based on a 40 print day which is average) Working on the general rule of thumb at 2.5 to 3 times material cost i thusly use $20.00 per page. I have thought about trying a print at Aarons,just might one day. >It's just a curiosity of mine as I don't have a DSLR but I wonder >what >people out there are charging who do have one. >Cheers, >Dave Dave B -------------------------------------------------------------------- Pentax User Stouffville Ontario Canada "Art needs to be in a frame.That way we know when the art stops and the wall begins"--Frank Zappa http://home.ca.inter.net/brooksdj/ http://brooks1952.tripod.com/myhorses Sign up today for your Free E-mail at: http://www.canoe.ca/CanoeMail
