After posting our internet cafe’s document print prices, we now share with you our price list for our Digital Photo Printing services.
Before anything else, we would like you to take note of the following that we considered before we set our prices:
- Our internet cafe is located in a residential area. We’re not near any school, market or any area that brings in a lot of people. So, again, adjust your prices based on where you are located.
- For our photo printing, we are using a Canon iP3680 Inkjet Photo Printer converted to Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS), pictured below:
- The inks we use are the following:
Prices of the 100 ml compatible ink refills are the following:
Pigment Black – Php 120 (about $2.67)
UV Dye Color Inks (Cyan, Magenta, Black and Yellow) – Php 75 (about $1.67)
You can buy these inks from Recto. We chose to buy the UV dye inks to prevent our printouts from fading from the UV rays of the sun. - We used to buy our photo papers from CDR-King. The 3R and 4R size photo papers (check the photo paper sizes chart below), 230 gsm, are worth Php 1.00 each if you buy there. But, we switched to imitation Kodak photo papers that we can buy for less than Php 1.00 each at Recto.
If you’re going to buy these photo papers, do it in bulk so you can save more. We bought our 4R Kodak photo papers for only Php 17 per pack (20 sheets) ’cause we bought 20 packs. We just keep them in a cool and clean place to prevent the paper from damages.These Kodak photo papers are actually of good quaity and the photo print quality are way better than with the CDR-king photo papers. We’re just using up all our leftover CDR-King photo papers and we’ll be printing on our Kodak photo papers afterwards.
Right now, we’ve got no more stock of 3R photo papers, but, we’ve got about 400+ 4R photo papers. It’s a bit hard to find 3R Kodak photo papers so we just resorted to buying 4Rs and just use this paper cutter to give our customers their desired photo print sizes:
Photo Paper Sizes
- Here is a guide on the most common photo paper sizes used for photo printing and their actual dimensions for your reference. The mini-wallet and semi-2R paper sizes were just made up so we can use up all our 4R photo papers. *LOL* But, you can also use them if you want.
