Depending on the size of print you want, you can get a very high quality
printer like an Epson Stylus Photo R2880 Ink Jet Printer for about $700.
Inks are about $15 per cartridge. This model uses 8 different color inks.
You can print up to a 13x19 inch print. If you need larger then the price
goes up, but sending them out to a service is inexpensive. You can get 4x6
for 19 cents each (MPIX, a division of Miller Labs) or a 20x24 for $19.99.
Not bad.
One thing, paper and chemicals cost money too. So if you subtract that cost
digital is not too bad. And no chemical poisons to worry about.
