Archive Scanning

In 50 years, will your children have past photos to look at? The answer to this question is largely dependent upon what you do today and how you store and archive your prints and digital images.

At Harold's Photo, we offer a variety of different scan services and have the ability to scan photos, slides, negatives, artwork, recipies, x-rays and much more! We carefully save your scans to DVD for archiving, viewing and printing. Available in 5 business days.

Prints are scanned at the original size of the print with a resolution of 300 dpi. These scans are perfect for archiving and will produce products up to the original print size. Pricing is based on print sizes 2½x3½” to 8x12”. An additional $1.00 per print charge applies to any damaged or mounted prints, prints smaller than 2½x3½” and prints larger than 8x12” but smaller than 11x17”. Front and back of image scanning counts as two individual scans. All orders are saved to Data DVD unless ordered as ‘save to flash drive’. Additional charges apply.

• Sort prints by size and orientation.
• Remove all tape, staples, paper clips, glue or attachments from prints.

Specialty Print Scanning
1200 dpi Hi-Res Scan • $19.99
This scan is best utilized for obtaining the highest resolution scan from a small sized original. Ideally it is used when a customer has a small original like a 2.5x3.5 and they want to try and produce a much larger print like a 16x20. As a general rule, scanning at 300 dpi will allow a customer to produce the same size print as their original. Scanning at 600 dpi will produce a print 2 times the original size. In most cases, scanning a print larger than 5x7 at 1200 dpi is unnecessary. Remember, a poor quality original cannot be improved by scanning at a higher resolution. Scans completed with enough resolution to produce a print the same size as the original.

Larger than 12x18 up to 16x20 • $39.99
Larger than 16x20 up to 20x30 • $54.99
Larger than 20x30 up to 30x40 • $74.99
Over 30x40 • Ask for Estimate
