If you use the right printer for 4 x 6 prints, you can beat the cost of lab

8X10's are cheaper than the lab. It is 4X6 paper that is the problem.
I put ink cost around around 20-30 cents. To keep under the 50 cent
threshhold of lab cost on 4X6 reprint, that means the paper needs to
be 20 cents or less. About the cheapest I have found for quality
