    We're a professional photography / graphic design studio using a lot of
digital photography. We normally charge at least $35 for a Kodak DS-9000 12 x
19" dye-sub print very much like the 3M Rainbow print. Our materials cost is
something under $6.00 per print.
    The color is generally more accurate than the Epson 3000 (though the
Epson is not bad), so we use that for prepress. We use the Epson for inhouse
and general proofing, and charge about $30 for a 12 x 19 size and a bit more
for larger sizes.
