After five years of loyal service and constant use, my Mac G3 300 died. The cause of death is unknown at this time, but it wouldn't boot even with a system disc in the CD drive and all the other drives disconnected. Probably a mother board failure.Since most of my work is now scanned color images

If you use the right printer for 4 x 6 prints, you can beat the cost of lab prints. Try the HP Photosmart 100, 130, or the most current 4 x 6 printer. Great 4 x 6 prints but, remember, it won't print anything larger. I do all of my 4 x 6 prints on it and do the big prints on the Epson. Len

I have an Epson 2000P. I've been printing with it for 6 months or so and haven't kept a close tab on the costs but it appears I can do an 8X10 print for around a $1.00/print ink costs and around $0.80/print photo paper costs. I consider this a bargain. Kenneth Waller - Original Message

Kenneth, 8X10's are cheaper than the lab. It is 4X6 paper that is the problem. I put ink cost around around 20-30 cents. To keep under the 50 cent threshhold of lab cost on 4X6 reprint, that means the paper needs to be 20 cents or less. About the cheapest I have found for quality paper is 30

Hello, A question for digital darkroom users who do printing frequently ... what is the cost of the print for say 8*10 size ? Of course, it will vary depending on printer, paper and inks and that is what I am trying to figure out. I have a HP PC and 932 printer. The ink-set costs around US
