I was going to say that, however I'll just illuminate I did a quick
price check on line for 8x10 prints, I thought that Wall-Mart had the
lowest price of course at 2.84 per. print, but I was wrong. MPix
advertises 1.99 per. print for the cheap stuff, up to 2.50 for special
papers, Best Color is $1.20 glossy or matte. I get between 40 and 50
prints per set of cartridges which cost me 45.00, and I use Ilford
Gallery Smooth Gloss paper that I get 100 sheets for $23.50. So I'm
paying about $1.00 per 8x10 per shot and 24ยข. The only on line printer
who is clearly less expensive than home printing for 8x10's is Best
Color. If I just wanted to print 5x7's I'd certainly use a commercial
printer.

That is true for small prints, but I find that large, 8x10 or bigger,
custom prints are cheaper to do on my system. 4x6 inch prints however
cost less to have done at Wal-Mart than just the paper cost alone to
print them at home.
