I'm not sure whether the printer contributes more or the paper contributes more, but this is a sweet deal given that this package now costs $7.94 for a 50 pack (10/16/2003)-- that's 16 cents a sheet. Add ink costs, and maybe per print it costs around 25 cents. If you were to order digital prints online--the cheapest I've found was 18 cents a print not even counting shipping. With shipping, for a batch of 27 exp, it runs around 26 cents. Therefore if you have a good printer, this 50-pack is a great deal by the sheer convenience of printing 4X6 and getting them relatively instantly compared to ordering online and waiting a week for them.
