Digital BW, The Print

Joel,
In addition to cost effectiveness, you need to know if you _like_ printing.
If you enjoyed the technical aspects of the darkroom then you may do well
setting up, running and maintaining a printer and software collection.  If
you don’t enjoy it, the cost savings will not matter in the long run.  BTW,
I don’t print for others, that price is what I pay for prints larger than my
printer allows.

Best regards,
John Moody

What I need to do is determine the cost effectiveness of printing myself, or
having
someone else do it.

If I had someone else do it, I would be an ongoing thing with a considerable
amount of
prints.  I have no way yet to determine a basis to guage your quote of
20/sq. ft., but off
the top of my head it sound a little high, though I am sure your services
are worth what
you charge.
