Paul,
You forgot to count the cost of the printer ink. I wonder how much that adds to the total cost (I have no idea how long the cartridges last in R2400). On a different but related subject, - do you (or anybody else here on the list) - coat your prints with the UV-protective coatings? One of the local professional labs that I am offers this option - to protect the ink from fading. Any experience with that? Is yes, what do you use and where do you get the supplies?
