Greetings all!
I need to make a few landscape and nature prints for a friend of mine in London. She wants them in about 13"x19" size and larger for panoramas. I would be printing those at home using my Epson 2200 printer, roll paper and cutter. I want to charge her just the printing cost.
Now, there are few questions:
a) does anyone know what a pure printing cost is per square inch for Epson 2200 (luster paper)?
The full set of cartridges is 70$ and a roll of Luster paper 13"x32' is also $70, but how much (roughly, on average) can you print with one full set of ink cartridges?
b) just for my information, how does one determine a price (aside from the printing cost) of a print for a commercial sale? Do you charge fifty, a hundred or a thousand? I went to a John Shaw photography workshop in NYC a year ago, and he was selling some of his large prints for about a $100 (those were workshop prices of course). Ansel Adams' prints go for about $200 to $250. So how do you guys determine how much to charge?
Any advice quite appreciated!
Regards
DM
