My Dad was a plumber. He always said "If it costs $1.00, sell it for $6.00...Six percent mark up is enough for anybody." ;-)

Those numbers are for someone operating a storefront studio. You're right at 
twice your cost, if you mat and frame. I charge about five times my cost for 
prints if I don't matte and frame -- or $25 for an 11 x 17. Those are generally 
pics of the cars I shoot for magazines. I've found that charging more just 
reduces the print order, and I end up making less money overall.

Paul, i felt the same way. I tried to keep my prices a bit on the low
side and go for volume.
Unfortunately that knob was broken. The volume was in web removal not
prints as i have mentioned before.

My Dad always told me to charge 2.5-3.0 times cost.

He was a banker so i trusted him.

4x6's=$6.00
5x7's=$15.00
8x10, 8x12=$25.00
11x14=$35.00
