A buddy of mine has asked me to print 500 or so of his snapshots from his South 
American vacation, and is insisting on paying me for the trouble. Given that 
its 500 prints, I'm going to let him pay me 
something close to the cost of paper and ink. The problem is that I haven't 
printed enough with my new printer to have a good handle on what actual ink 
costs per print are running.

Given that I'm using an 8 color Epson R1800, and most of the prints will be 3" 
X 4" or 4" X 5.5" on roll paper (Epson semigloss) with maybe a handful (a dozen 
or two) 8 X 10s, what would you expect 
the out of pocket cost to run?  

On a related note, if he took the job to a run of the mill photo lab/printer, 
what would they charge?
