I went back to check. I was off a little but it's still under 60 cents. (I fixed the post.) The pictures were 2 1/2" by 3" plus some text. A review for the printer we used said that the ink cost for full-page pictures was about $1.00 per page, so that works out to about 10 cents worth of ink per card. Tack on 6 cents for the paper, and maybe 2 cents for the envelope and a penny for the printed letter inside, we're looking at 19 cents per card, or 56 cents per card mailed. Cards from a picture studio cost over $1.00 per card, and then you have to mail them. Hi Colleen,

I'm just wondering, though, how many cards did you send out and can you figure in the cost of the ink cartridge? This last expense is what usually keeps me from doing something like this for the 100 cards I send out each year. This sounds like a great idea.
