Internet Cafe / Computer Shop Digital Photo Printing Prices

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:

    compatible ink refills for CISS for Canon iP3680 - iCafeBlog.com
    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.

Libreng Pa-Research? Ano ka, Hilo!?

Eto, mainit-init pa…

Ngayong pasukan na naman, asahan mo na lalakas talaga ang printing ng mga computer shops / internet cafe. Lumalakas din ang rentals kasi maraming eskuwelahan ngayon ang nagrerequire na computerized ang mga reports na sinusumite ng mga estudyante sa kanila. At yung iba naman, yung mga pinapahanap nila sa mga estudyante ay makukuha lang sa internet.

Nagtataka nga rin ako eh. Mas malaki talaga ngayon ang gastos na magpaaral kasi, kahit sa public school, nagrerequire sila ng computerized or galing sa internet na mga research assignments. ‘Di naman lahat ng estudyante ay kayang makabayad ng computer rental or printing kaya dapat, sa library lang ‘yung mga pinapahanap nila or ‘yung pwede nilang i-research lang sa computers sa school.

Anyway, this post is not really all about what needs to improve in our education system. May reklamo lang kami na lagi na lang nangyayari dito.

Internet Cafe / Computer Shop Print Prices

Due to popular demand (naks!), here are our internet cafe / computer shop‘s print prices for regular document prints, with or without images. Part 2 of this print prices will be for photos (with or without photo frames) and invitations.

Before I tell you our print prices, let me tell you some things you need to note about our icafe and our printing:

  • We are located in a residential area and we’re not really close to a school or market. So, you can increase or lower the prices depending on your location.
  • We are using an Canon iP3680 inkjet photo printer and a Canon MX870 Wireless Office All-in-One printer for printing documents and photos.
    For photocopies, we use an HP F2480 3-in-1 printer I use the MX870. Same for scanning.
  • We had our Canon printers converted to CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System). We also refill our HP printer on our own, and we no longer refill the color cartridge. The black ink refill only costs PhP 100.
    I’ll post about how you can save money from ink refills next.
  • The paper we use for document printing only costs Php 180+ for 500 sheets. But, I sometimes end up buying at National Bookstore, so that can increase to Php 200+.
    For photocopying, we use thinner sheets of paper that only cost Php 75 for 500 sheets.

Time ka na saka ka lang magpapaprint?!

Ngayong umpisa na ulit ng klase, lumalakas ang kita ng karamihan ng mga internet cafes / computer shops. Bakit kamo? Malamang, andyan yung mga assignments (takdang-aralin, naks!) na kailangan ng research at mga kung anu-anong kailangan nilang ipaprint.

May mga araw sa ibang computer shops na mas malakas pa nga ‘yung printing kesa dun sa rentals. Ang saya, noh? Sana, kami rin maging ganun.

Pero, teka, hindi yun ang topic ng post na ‘to. ‘Kala mo masaya ‘tong blog post na ‘to noh? Eto, may reklamo ulit ako.Timeout - iCafeBlog.com

Nakakainis yung mga customers na kung kelan magta-time na, saka ka lang sasabihang may ipapaprint sila. Okay lang sana kung naka-save na eh. Pero hindeeeeeeee!

So, ikaw, nagmamadaling sabihan sila na i-save muna sa My Documents. Tapos, minsan, tatanungin ka pa kung anong filename. Leche! KAHIT ANO! Pag ‘di mo na-save yan bago mag-logout yang computer mo, bahala ka sa buhay mo. Okay, I didn’t ACTUALLY say that to a customer. It’s all in my head, okay?
