Hi Guys,
I've been doing a fair bit of photos for school kids and babies and I'm at present collecting from Loxley. I use DS Colour when I send away batches of school photos but for the kids who come to me the 6.99 postage is a pain as it eats into my profit.
Loxley are much pricier per photo but this is cancelled out by me collecting and also I can usually collect next day. I'm finding it difficult to make time for the 12 mile round trip though so I've thought about purchasing a printer for printing at home. Obviously though it'd have to be a good quality printer and ideally a 12x8 print would have to cost less than £1 to print.
Questions
Is this realistic?
What would you recommend sub £1000?
I know I could raise my school print packages to cover the postage but I'd rather not as I'm comfortable with the prices as they are. I could also offer digital files only but I'm not keen on this at all.
Regards
Scott
