Hi all. The fellow who does my carving and blasting for me knows I have a photoresist system and is bringing me a job for quote. I know I'll have to have camara ready art printed out in the best way to get as many multiples on each sheet as possible. I know where I'll get that done and how much it will cost.
I know the formula...take your time, add materials, overhead and profit. I don't know how long it takes to do a run of multiple copies of the same design. I've only played around with one-off photoresist things as part of some experimental work, not as a job in itself and didn't pay that much attention to how long it takes to develop each image start to finish. (Ooops...)
Is there a thumbnail...price per square inch? per sheet of images? Any guidance on or off board would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Carol

Carol,
You could go to Rayzist's website where they have a photoresist calculator. http://www.rayzist.com/supplies/custom_mask_quote.asp
Of course it is intented to be used to price work that they are doing, but it can give you a good baseline to work from. The last time I used it was to price some 2½ x 2½ resists which worked out to be about $1.00 each.
