This option is not available with the checkout module.

Yes it is...

Set a discount equal to the price of one print with a minimum quantity of 6. When you buy the sixth print you get a discount equal to "buy 5 get one free".

My bad.

See what happens when you don't stop by regularly enough?

Lol. It's not obvious that's the way to do it, but I'm pretty sure it works!

Actually it's a bit different if the prints don't all cost the same, for instance you can't do "buy 6 get the cheapest free".

Can a discount be applied to certain products only?

And, is there a way to apply a minimum shipping amount to a specific item only?

Only by digging into the code, I'm afraid.

You can set shipping bands for different products. The shipping for the entire order is the highest of all the bands for the products in the order.

Example: Band A is $0.50, band B is $15. Then an order of 4 items in band A is $0.50 shipping. Add a single item from band B and the shipping for the 5 items is $15.
