Re: [Digital BW] Need price quote help fast

If these are prints of your images I'd like to see you make more money than
that! $12 isn't much more than the price someone would pay for a custom 8x10
at a decent lab if it's one of their own negatives. You'd be practically
giving your IMAGE (your art/vision) away for the price of materials alone.
If it were up to me they'd be paying you $12/print for materials and
expenses, plus at least a couple grand for usage rights. They can't buy
pillow cases for the price of those prints, and you can imagine how many of
those they buy, and how fast they replace them. They owe you some towels and
an ashtray big time. ;-)
