Most collections are exactly that simple. For anything more complicated — photos glued into albums, frames to open, slides, negatives, or documents — I'll look at what you have and give you the exact number before I start. No surprises.
Three rates cover almost everything. Everything else gets a free quote first.
Standard prints of any size — 3×5, 4×6, 5×7, 8×10. Loose in a box, an envelope, or a paper bag. This is the one most people have.
35mm slides and negatives. Different scanner, different workflow — takes more time per frame. Still includes enhancement and delivery.
Recipes, letters, certificates, military records, newspaper clippings, tax returns — any flat letter or legal-size page through the ADF. Fragile or odd-sized pages go on the flatbed at $1.00/page.
The fireproof storage case is an optional add-on at $40. Most people add it — it's where your originals live permanently once they come back organized.
Every job — regardless of size or format — includes all of this.
Some collections have things that take more care — photos glued into old albums, frames that need to be opened, documents and memorabilia mixed in with the prints. I've seen all of it.
For anything that falls outside loose prints and slides, I look at your collection first and give you the exact price before I start. You'll never get a bill for more than what we agreed.
Depends entirely on the album type. Some lift cleanly. Some are magnetic or sticky and take real coaxing. I'll tell you upfront which you have and what it costs.
I can open frames carefully and scan the print inside. Quoted per job after I see what you have — some frames are simple, some are delicate.
Recipes, letters, certificates, military records, newspaper clippings — all doable. Standard letter/legal pages are $0.50 each through the ADF. Anything fragile or odd-sized goes on the flatbed at $1.00/page. Add OCR for $0.25/page to make everything text-searchable.
$0.50/page · $1.00/page flatbed · +$0.25 OCRAnything larger than 8×10 goes on the flatbed and takes more time. I'll quote you when I see it — most oversized prints are still very reasonable.
$1.00/page flatbedSend me a photo of your collection or describe what you have. I'll tell you exactly what it would cost before you commit to anything. That's what the free consultation is for.
Minimum per job. There's a $75 minimum to cover the time it takes to meet, process, and return a job properly. For most people with a real shoebox, you'll never see this.
