I have a DSLR and like to shoot a lot of my baby daughter. Some of the photos are quite nice, so I want to print them out in large format -- something like A3 to A2. When I go to print shops, their price of large formats is so high, about 60 to more than 100 for A3 or A2 size.
So i decide to buy a large format photo printer, something like Epson R3000 or R3885.
But if I buy expensive printers, most of the times they will sit there collect dust. Why not make some pocket money with it?

How big is the demand for high quality A3 or A2 photo prints, with good photo paper, and framing / plastic membrane protection options? Would you like to frequently have your good shots printed out in large formats? What do you think is a reasonable price for such services?
Please share your thoughts, if I do set up such business, I will give big discount to clubsnap members who comment in this thread , if you print your photos with me:bsmilie: .

Thanks all for your comments, I do sense a demand is there!
Some bros mentioned the price to be charged, frankly I don't know at this point. Since I won't take this as my main income, but only as a hobby, I won't charge a price that's far more than the cost.
What do you think if the cost of printing:
4R: 15 cents (well, maybe min 100 pics)
A4: $ 8
A3: $ 15
A2: $ 30
