Hello, ideally, you will need the following equipment: a printer (even if you use a printer, the price is basically tens of thousands, which should not be suitable for your needs), enough ink, enough paper (usually photo album paper is coated paper, which is more expensive than ordinary printing paper), glue loader, enough glue sticks and strips and other consumables. The price difference between printers and binders is very large, ranging from hundreds to thousands or even tens of thousands. Of course, the effect is different. You need to choose for yourself. If consumables are used, 5000 copies 16p are not included in the front cover and back cover. You need at least 80,000 coated papers, including 90,000 front and back covers. According to the color coverage of your album, a box can print about 200 ~ 400 pieces of ink. Forget the glue stick, it's almost negligible. As for the specific average cost, because these consumables and hardware are different from place to place, even online, it is really difficult to estimate. Basically, it is cost = printer+binding machine+paper+ink+design cost. Since you do it at home, the labor cost is ignored. In fact, I say so much mainly to tell you that it is not very reliable to do so at home. Even a dozen or twenty books can count. If there is no corresponding channel, the consumption of paper and ink will be astronomical. So it's better to find a small printing factory to negotiate. 5,000 families will not refuse, and the average price will not be too high, at least it is cheaper than making it yourself. I hope I can help you, please adopt it if you are satisfied!
