Pricing:

Flatbed scanning orders are priced by estimate for each project. Click 'Get an Estimate' to complete our form and receive a price estimate.

Guidelines:

• Smudgeable originals such as charcoal and pastel must have a fixative applied prior to sending in for scanning. Do not submit framed or matted originals.
  
  
• Originals cannot be larger than 11"x17". This size limit applies to both art and mounting board.
  
  
• Expect less than optimal results when scans are made from halftone printed pieces (such as magazine or book art).
  
  
• If precise cropping is needed, supply a go-by or indicate the crop with a tissue overlay on the original.
  
  
• File format options are:
  - tif
  - eps
  - psd
  - jpg
  - gif

For jpgs and gifs destined for browser use, we will need to know the pixel x pixel dimension, and the compression needed (the compressed final file size desired)

Service Levels:

Standard: Basic Touch Up
This level of service does not include "restorative" work. Basic touch up (spotting) included. Color correction goal is for pleasing color, not necessarily matching specific colors.

The scan is delivered in RGB, LAB, generic CMYK or Greyscale. Our generic CMYK separation method is: SWOP Ink Set, 20% Dot Gain, Medium Black Plate, 100% Black, 300% Total Ink. Custom CMYK can be provided if customer supplies separation specs.

Premium: Detailed Image Enhancement
This service is for projects that require advanced image manipulations such as restorative work, background or content removal, and other digital enhancement tricks. We will need a detailed description of the image edits to be accomplished.

Economy: No Touch Up
No touch up. Being untouched, the scans will contain imperfections. This level of service is for customers who have image editing software and can do their own prep work. All Economy scans are delivered in RGB, LAB or Greyscale.
