Brendan, I concur. On my Canon, HP, and Epsons, 8X10's would cost in the $2-$3 range. That is reasonable as a lab print would cost about $6.50 each. I found that 8X10's were cost effective (provided you don't have to reprint - color problems, lightness, etc) but 4X6's are iffy compared to lab cost.
