I guess part of it would depend on how long it takes you to make a layout. I think $20 to $35 an hour for your labor is pretty reasonable. If you charge on the higher end of the scale, it might be nice to throw in one 12 by 12 or 8 by 10 print at no extra charge. For extra prints, above and beyond the first one, I'd probably charge whatever it would cost you to have the print professionally done, probably around $4 or $5.

Basically, $25 or $30 for a custom layout is pretty reasonable, I think, considering the amount of work that goes into it. If they ordered, say, 10 layouts, I'd probably give a discount on the labor.

Your customers have gotten the bargain of the century up until now. I agree that you're shortchanging yourself.

I hope this has helped.
