$40 paper is hard to find. Think double that, and since there is a paper shortage in the country anticipate increases. To say printing costs equals just the cost of paper means you would have to print blank pages. There are toner costs, equipment costs, repair/replacement costs. And there is your time cost and profit.
What do UPS stores, PostNet, etc charge to copy/print a page? Is it 10 cents, 15 cents, or more? Could they be factoring in the cost of paper, toner, machine costs, human costs and PROFIT???
Yes, I know if you take them 1 page and have 200 copies made the cost may go down. If you take them 10 pages and have 200 copies made the price per page may go down a little more.
These stores know they need to earn a profit. In general, do notaries know the same?
