Q: What is the true cost of digital photo printing?
For the most part, digital photo printing costs are similar in cost to film photo printing costs, averaging 15 cents to 50 cents per print, for most common sizes.
Although it might seem as if printing photos at home is very inexpensive, you do have to remember the cost of ink and paper, and that cost can increase quickly if you use specialty inks or papers, made specifically for photos.
Some stores allow you to print photos from a kiosk, simply by inserting a memory card. You also can send your photos to various companies on the Internet, where they can be printed and either sent to you or picked up on location. In most instances, printing photos at a store is less expensive than printing at home.
