For those of us making the transition from conventional to digital printing, this can help us and our students place a monetary value on our prints. I’ve never encountered an analysis of chemical costs per print, but you can at least compare the cost of in-house printing against outside lab costs.

This report does not include the cost of the printer. You may want to amortize that cost over its useful life (perhaps 4 years) and divide it by the estimated number of prints that will be fed through.
