It's the little yellow kiosks that are everywhere. $6.99 for an 8X10. I know people who have spent $6000 up on Dennis Reggie take proof sheets onto the kiosks to save print costs. Some are battling back with on line ordering and all digital production but the price of an 8X10 is $6.99 in the minds of the paying public. Sure, you can sell a few 11X's or maybe a 16X but it won't pay the rent. The proper business model is a large upfront fee, an ample album, and a fee for the negatives or a CD of the images. You save time, get your money up front, and the family likes you instead of curses you for your outrageous fee ($20.00) for a reprint. Just my two cents.
