How much to charge? And where to get prints?

[bbg404]

Morning all I've been asked for a couple of prices for some A3 prints how much do you normally add on to the printing charge?

Where have people been buy prints from? I don't want the cheapest of the cheap but I do want good quality

Thanks

Get sample prints from different labs and see which you like.
Profit = sales price - print prices (remember the tax man too).
About as sensible an answer I can give, some will charge £10 for an A3 print, some several hundred.

There's no easy answer to that as it very much depends on what you are printing on and the printing method. You can't compare fine art prints with c-types. I would suggest that if you are doing it for a living you need to be making 100% to 120% on top of your costs.
