That's one reason I haven't bought any inkjet printer even though I have a film scanner. Now I have found a lab which can do 4x6" digital prints at CAD69 only, and the quality is GOOD. No more colour balance nightmare from regular machine prints. And what's better? I just do all the tweak I want at home and upload the files to them, FROM HOME!! So I don't need to visit the lab twice. Now that's the beauty of digital. :-)

The funny thing to me is, that we all seem to be forgetting the lab.
The new machines, Frontiers, D-Labs and such are more than capable of
dealing with the digital world.  To penetrate the masses, people will
start using those labs.  They are not all going to sit down to their
computer and load up the files and do a bit of photoshop cleanup and
then print them on their home printers.  Yes, a few of us zealots
will, but most people still struggle with the concept of a "file" with
computers.  Take your card into the lab, get the prints you want plus
a CD back of the images.

The time and cost of printing at home is too high to get massive
adoption.  Cost of printing 4X6's is between 25 and 50 cents.  Just
buying the paper (4X6 borderless or perfed) cost about 35 cents, not
to mention ink and time.
