I'll stick by my assessment. For the record, I was comparing home printing of a
series of prints from negatives on a home inkjet to the cost of getting that
same series of prints produced on regular photographic paper at a place like
Costco. See here for an article that might clarify:

Good Lord! Get a digital printer - for less than $250 U.S. - and you can
crank out 4x6s till the proverbial cows come home.
Further, what you're saying about inkjet printing can be applied,
1000-fold, to doing one's own darkroom work. But when you print your own
work in the darkroom, you have to repeat the entire process again every
time you want another print - once you've done the digital work, all you
have to do is call up the image and press Print. There is no way I could
afford to have high-quality custom silver prints made on a regular basis
- and I can afford to produce equally high quality inkjet prints.
