Shoebox Scans

General

- Final format for scanned images will be 300dpi @ the size of the original print, numbered in sequential order, and color corrected for best final image before put onto a CD or DVD

- This should be considered to be the economical solution for scanning volume archives of photographs.

- Although the resolutions of the Shoebox Scans lend themselves to be able to be reprinted, the quality will not be the same as a Flatbed Scan

- Special requests can be made (Duplicate CD's/DVD's, orders broken up onto multiple CD/DVD's, alternative naming or numbering, order broken up into sub-folders, color correction requests)

Requirements:

- Print Scans only

- We can scan originals from wallet size to 8 1/2" x 11"

- NO sticky or tacky residue (scotch tape, double sided tape, and tacky tape will catch in the Shoebox Scanner, and cause the print to not be scanned, and slow down the process)

- No cardboard frames or backing (anything thicker then a Polaroid will NOT pass through the Shoebox Scanner)

- Prints should be organized and facing ONE direction, double sided scanning is possible, but customer will be charged for the TOTAL number of images.

- Images can be separated into folders on a CD/DVD per customer request, but the images must be pre-sorted into groups when they bring them in, and should have groups labeled.
