Finding pricing for color copies completely depends on whether you make them through an online service, copy shop, or home copier. It also depends on the size and type of the paper, as well as the quantity being made. Many copy shops give different quotes on specific jobs, and many have additional discounts that can make printing jobs extremely inexpensive. This article is meant to give you a better idea of the things that affect the price of color copying.
The first thing to look at when determining pricing is the type of copy you are making. Single-sided color copies on standard letter-sized paper range from 49 cents to 79 cents per page printed. This is based on some of the reputable copy centers such as FedEx, Kinko’s and Office Depot. If you are planning on doing double-sided copies it will probably cost you about 98 cents to $1.49 per page. This is not including any discounts that are being given by the specific shop you are located at.
When looking for inexpensive color copies, size is also an issue. Typically, online services usually have lower prices than local copy shops on large orders. This can get as low as 8 to 15 cents for a double-sided color copy. These sites usually require an order of 1,000 or more to get a price like that. If you are looking for smaller, more custom jobs, then you are probably better off doing them at a professional copy store where you can make a lot of changes.
