Ink costs versus offest printing

Currently, I am having 1k of each print printed by an offset press on #90 Matte stock. I have a great price on these but I have to buy 1k to offer a new print. If I were to print these digitally what do you think the estimated cost would be for the paper and ink? Anyone have a good way to figure that out? here is an example of what I am printing.

Here is an example print

Paper cost should remain the same for digital or litho provided that the paper is compatible with the digital press. Ink cost is generally higher for digital prints but that will vary for each machine. The advantage of digital prints is that the minimum quantity purchase can be very low but expect that your per piece price will rise significantly.
