A printing / copy shop is print services with equipment depreciation and ink costs. Find your break-even point in units and revenue.
A typical printing / copy shop has ~$10,000/month in fixed costs (rent, insurance, salaries) and variable costs of ~40% of revenue. At $0 per page, the contribution margin is $0 — so you need to sell 111,112 pages/month just to cover costs. Every unit beyond that is pure profit.
