So generally I'll make $70-150 a weekend. $50 or so going to another kit for the next weekend. Also taking 45 seconds or so to print, maybe a minor set back.

I'm actually printing on 8.5" by 5.5" on light card stock on some old Samsung printer I had l laying around. It's a laser printer, dying out and like 2 out of 10 toner I had, had a manufacture's defect. Too late to return or exchange them. Do you have any recommendations Jmac?
Something like these:

HiTi P510L Dye-Sub Photo Printer 88.D1735.00A B&H Photo Video

DNP DS-RX1 Dye-Sub Color Photo Printer RX1 B&H Photo Video

6"x9" printing cost is about $0.45/print with these guys and about 20 seconds per print (listed, probably a bit more in reality, but should be able to churn out 100/hour).
