Photo printers are VERY expensive to use :/ MUCH more expensive than getting photos developed at the store.

Never tried to break it down per print. But if you want to compare costs, you've got to throw in the time you spend en route and waiting at the store, gas, wear and tear on the car, etc.
Creating the pics when I want them and exactly how I want them is far more valuable to me than the pennies that would be saved going the commercial route.
Also throw in the fact that what you see on the screen isn't always what you get in the print and there's no comparison for me. Manipulating colors slightly, cropping, retouching, etc sometimes need to be redone after seeing the finished print. That alone doubles the cost when you go the commercial route.
