COST

The Digital Output Center: Print Prices 2019-20

To calculate the price of a print:

  1. Figure out the size of your print in inches, then calculate ink cost:
    2. (length in inches) x (width in inches) x (cost per inch) = price for ink
  2. Figure out type and amount of paper you will use, take prices from chart or bring your own paper (no charge for paper, calculate ink only)
  3. Add ink price and paper price to get total cost of the print.
The D.O.C. also has a rotating selection of fine art papers, canvas and vinyl on large format rolls.
Samples of current stock and pricing is available upon request in the D.O.C.
