Option #1 – Approximate costs for Paper and fixed Ink Fees by Print Size
The chart below is meant to provide you with an estimated per print cost for your paper (supplied by you) and our set Ink Fees.
There are many different types of papers and they can be purchased at B&H and K&M (which is just a few blocks away) . You can have paper delivered to the premises prior to your appointment but please let us know in advance.
Once you purchase your paper you can me accurately calculate your paper costs by determining the total number of sq. feet in your roll of paper and then dividing the total number of sq. in. in the roll into the cost of the paper.
Example:
If your roll of paper is 44″x100′, first convert your ft. into inches.
100′ x12(inches) = 1200
44″ x1200″ = 52,800
52,800 ÷ 144 = 366.66 sq. ft.
If your paper costs $94 (the B&H price of Epson Enhanced Matte InkJet Paper) then divide the sq. ft. of the paper into the price:
$94 ÷ 366.66 = 0.2563683 (about $0.25 per sq.ft.)
Please remember that there will likely be some paper waste. For instance, If you are printing a 30×40 print on 44′ paper, then your paper size will be 30″x44″. Many different papers also come in Cut Sheets and can be used with the Epson p20000 but it is more expensive then roll paper.
A good way of estimating your paper costs is by calculating about $3 per sq. ft. for Tier 1 ( $1 for paper and $2 ink) and $5 per sq. ft. for Tier 2 ( $2 for paper and $3 for ink). BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT PAPERS, THESE PRICES ARE ESTIMATED PRICES ONLY .
THIS CHART IS JUST AN ESTIMATE.

If you are printing sizes other then the ones on our price list, you can calculate your ink fee. In order to calculate the number of sq. in feet.
Per print size, first be sure to covert both dimensions into inches
(if your size is 4’x6′ then multiply the number of feet by 12 (inches) to 48″x72″).
Once your dimensions are in feet, multiply the width x height and then divide the total by 144.
EXAMPLE -48X72 = 3,456
3,456 ÷144=24 sq.ft
