Interest in photo printing?

[skater]

Would anyone be interested in having prints of shots I (or others) take made on the spot? My brother has a nice photo printer that's pretty small and produces VERY nice output - and I've been looking for an excuse to get one of my own. ;)

What I'm thinking is that I could get it, get some supplies, and charge maybe 75 cents or so per 4x6 photo. I'm not looking to turn this into a business; it'd just be nice to help offset the cost of this printer. My wildest dream would be that I break even, which would be about 240 pictures at $0.75/each. I seriously doubt there would be enough interest for that to happen, but a more realistic number of prints sold would be ... what? 5? 20? 100?

I think I could carry the printer in my camera bag, or at least have it in the car, so it'd always be nearby, ready to roll.

Note - this would only be 4x6 prints. It's possible to set up a way to do larger prints, but it'd be a lot more expensive both in purchasing equipment and the per-print price, and it'd be a LOT harder to do anywhere like I could with the 4x6s. If there is a LOT of interest in this angle, it'd be something for me to think about for next year.

I'm just looking for opinions - let me have 'em, positive or negative. :)

Thanks.

I'd definitely want 20-40 pictures!

perhaps it's rude of me to even mention..
but why not just take a digital picture to wal-mart, walgreens, wherever to get it printed for you?
all you need to do is slide in your memory card or CD to their machine and you're good to go

Not rude - it's just not something I'm going to bother doing. I moved away from getting stuff developed when I bought the digital camera. :)

Cause you have to wait to get them done.

Mainly why if someone is doing them on-site at a cheaper rate, i'd do it.

what do you mean moved away from getting stuff developed?

I think he means he prints his own shizz instead of taking it to a place and getting it done.

Definately interested man. Not only in the printouts, but also of the full-sized images as well. That camera takes such killer shots that I want more. (Last years shots of my car by you simply owned.)
