I donīt know the prices in US of course, but in europe the printers are very cheap. The HP for example was offered today - I just bought one for my sister - for 199,00 ?. Ink cartridges are available for about 30,00 ?.

Of course it depends on the number of prints you do, if it will be more expensive or not. But I referred to a costumer test magazine in europe which compared both, prints and onlineservice. They told that it is not more expensive. I didnīt proof this, I have to admit.

And I have to do photoprints for my business, so it doesnīt matter for me. Prints done by onlineservices could be better, if they are used for ages. Maybe photoprints get broken after several years.
