The fact that I can get some good prices on household staples is a bonus. At their prices, it doesn't take many 8x10's or larger to justify the $50 annual membership, compared to other labs, IMO.
I originally got my Costco membership for the photo printing. I don't know of anybody (though I imagine they might exist) who offers small-format inkjet output. I've never had prints made anywhere else, but both Unique Photo and Digicraft also offer comprehensive printing services. They were decent quality, but they came off of a Frontier or Noritsu, too, so there wasn't that much to recommend them over Costco.

I only had a couple of panos made at Pro Photo Supply before I knew Costco offered them.

Plus 12x24 and 12x36 panos for something like $6 or $7. In part, it comes down to the care and feeding of the machine, and the operators in Vancouver seem to do a very good job of that. Almost every printer (nationwide) is profiled ( ), they produce good quality, and their prints are very affordable. I've been pretty happy with my results from Costco. I've been curious about local printers here in the Portland area - we have Costcos but I've never been a member and like to know the options - who is the shop you were referring to above? And, are there others in the area you are familiar with and who do good work? I'm not looking at 8x10 prints but larger format ones. Not trying to start a war, here.if you disagree with me, please do so respectfully. Of course, the initial outlay for a 3880 is steep, even with the current rebates, but I own my 3880 for digital negatives, color prints is just a bonus. And you get wider gamut and better D-Max from the 3880 than with a machine print. The photo store for pros in Portland charges $5.75 for a machine print on some Kodak paper (I don't know which). Costco charges $1.49 for an 8x10 on Fuji Crystal Archive. At $0.40 per 8x10 in ink and $0.33 per page for a paper like Red River UltraPro Satin 2.0, the per-print cost is $0.73. With these numbers, I don't see why people still believe the incremental cost of printing at home is higher than lab prints (I'm excluding initial outlay of equipment).
I don't see a question, though.are you just sharing your personal experience? I don't see why Red River's numbers shouldn't be trusted, they have no reason to mis-state the ink cost per page, IMO.

Their cost per page is based on their (slightly higher) cost per cartridge of $50, compared to B&H's $46, and they used a full 8x10 test image. Your costs are on par with what Red River determined. Thanks in advance for comments and criticism. *please remember that this is excluding any applicable tax or shipping I have, thus far, printed approximately 105 sheets of letter size (~10圆.7 inch, large mix of image type, brightness of image, and colors used) and 4 sheets of 17x22 (~16x20 image), which has totaled 97mL of ink usage, or $55.76 in ink*. Printing a 16x20 on pearl paper (lots of full-black in the image) used 4.1mL, or approximately $2.36 in ink. If you buy your ink from B&H (who will currently sell you an 80 mL tank for $45.99, add it to your cart to see the cheaper price), this amounts to approximately $0.37 per page (I was printing at about ~10圆.7 inch) I have been printing photos at approximately ~10圆.7" on 8.5x11" sheets of pearl paper. I haven't printed mounds of photos on it yet, but here are my initial results for those who are wondering : I recently bought an Epson 3880, and while there are a lot of good discussions on the internet about whether or not it's worthwhile to get the 2880/3880/canon/hp, etc etc etc., I wasn't able to find any actual numbers when I searched around for actual costs per page (though a number of people helpfully suggest that the printer is pretty good at tracking those things).
