My HP Inkjet is sufficient enough for me now that I only need 4-5 covers max at a time. I'd definitely prefer going somewhere else when I get a batch of 30. Plus I don't have my own paper cutter :P

I always print all my covers at home on my good old inkjet. On glossy paper it looks pretty good.
I can print around 20 to 30 covers on the highest quality setting then at least one of the five tanks goes dry. I've got a Canon IP4200.

Doesn't that prove my point? More economical to print at Staples or whatever.

One tank costs around 10 Euros here in austria (when I find some NET-bargains I often get all three color tanks for 25 Euros in a package). So that means if one tank runs dry after 30 covers I paid 0,33 cent per cover and don't have to wander around and discuss copyright shit with people. ;D
I know that the other tanks run dry pretty soon after the first tank starts so around 10 covers or so later the next tank is dry.

I think after all calculations are said and done (taking into account that other tanks run dry faster) I pay around 0,60 cent per cover.

That's not too shaby in my oppinion. A yes and were talking about original Canon ink here!

If I would refill my tanks with third party ink one tank would cost 3 Euros!!!! Then the covers would cost next to nothing but I want original ink. :)

I'm going to buy a good printer with my next paycheck so I can print out some covers. I've heard places like Staples and such sometimes refuse to print covers since they contain copyrighted images. I'd much rather be able to print them at home since I live in the middle of nowhere. The nearest Staples is a half hour drive and I work six days out of the week so I don't always have time to drive into town. Come to think of it, I don't have much time for playing video games either because of my job. I own 94 games on five consoles and two handhelds, and some of them I've never played. And yet I'm always looking to buy more.

Welcome to Game Collectors Anonymous :) I'm sure a lot of people here are in the exact same situation. I know I am ;)
