Our pricing structure is centered on providing top quality services in the form of packages of services that maximize the experience of enjoying your treasured memories on your modern equipment. We specialize in the memories that are too precious to drop in the mail to an unknown company. We have completed numerous transfers of treasured memories. Thus we are able to break down the cost of the packages into a per item price, due to our experience with the time and materials cost involved in each conversion package.
Because the per item price reflects a package of services there is some flexibility in customizing the services within that package without out a substantial deviation from the general per item price. We typically do not provide bulk discounts as the quality and attention to detail does not change regardless of if you have one item that contains your memories or one hundred and fifty items full of precious memories. However we do offer greater flexibility in customizing larger projects to fit your exact goals and each of your gift recipients with minimal to no additional cost.
We are able to work with just about any budget due to the flexibility of custom tailored packages that can help you meet your goals while being respectful of your budget. Even though we do not provide volume discounts on the majority of our services there are additional options that can help respect your budget while still meeting your unique goals in how you enjoy your memories.
One of those options is our Referral Bonus Program that allows clients to earn a percentage off of their own project as a way of saying thank you for encouraging your friends and family to trust their memories to Vintage 2 Digital. Within the Referral Bonus Program there are also ways of earning free projects. We will be happy to discuss additional details of this program during the initial meeting or after you have picked up your project.
Standard Image Scan = $0.75 per image
Photo Album Images = $0.85 per image
Framed Image/Stuck to glass images = $1.35 per image
Pre-Photo Restoration Scanning = $5.20 per image
What is included in the per image price? Manual scanning of each image on a flat bed scanner at 600 dpi resolution in TIFF format (this is the minimum resolution that we use for any image which is twice the industry standard of 300 dpi and is in a more stable file format than the industry standard). A disk that contains your images in a minimally compressed JPEG format. The significantly larger TIFF files can be placed on a hard drive or other client provided external storage device upon request. A custom text based label or message to a gift recipient printed on the face of the disk.
Note that for Pre-Photo Restoration Scanning multiple detailed scans of the same image are made and the starting resolution is at 1200 dpi with slightly higher dpi used for postage stamp sized and similarly small images.
35 mm slide = $0.95 per slide
Non-Standard format slides or negatives (any type) = $1.30 per slide or negative.
What is included in the price per scanned transparency? Gentle dusting of transparencies using compressed room temperature air (not the same as the "canned air" or "duster cans" that contain toxic unstable compounds and can thermally stress the transparencies). A high resolution TIFF scan of each slide (3200 ppi). A large JPEG version of each scan suitable for making at least a 4x6 reprint and optional email/web friendly JPEG version of the image. A disk containing your memories in a high quality JPEG format. The TIFF files can be delivered on client provided external storage media (such as a hard drive or large flash drive). Custom text based label for your disk that is printed directly on the face of the disk.
1 to 5 videotapes = $25 per tape
6 to 10 videotapes = $24 per tape
11 to 15 videotapes = $22 per tape
Large volume of videotapes (16 or more videotapes) = $20 per tape.
Flat rate video disks* = $25 per disk
The price of the Videotape to DVD transfer covers a fully monitored direct transfer of the videotape to DVD and includes one copy of the DVD. Each disk comes with customized labeling printed directly to the face of the DVD which reflects the video content and/or mirrors the label written on the original videotape. The videotape and disks are numbered with corresponding numbers to facilitate ease of matching the original media with the digital copy.
*In certain situations more than one tape can be transferred to a single disk due to inherent duration limitations of the original videotape. In this case instead of charging on a per tape basis we charge by the disk. This allows a more economical option for clients who have multiple very short tapes so they don't end up with multiple disks containing only a few minutes of content. As well as clients who have video media that is inherently time constrained by format. However, this option is offered on a discretionary per client basis. Please contact us and we will be happy to help you determine if your project qualify for a flat rate video disk. Note: DVDs hold the same amount of minutes (120 minutes or 2 hours) as a full size VHS tape recorded at a standard speed.
Photo Restoration Hourly Rate = $60 per hour, for severely damaged images. Scanning images in preparation of photo restoration is $5.20 per image due to highly detailed multiple scans of the image prior to restoration. The project includes a disk containing digital files for future reprints and enlargements of restored image as well as complementary assistance obtaining reprints of the restored image if desired.
Custom projects and/or highly customized components of projects will be at the $60 per hour rate.
Back up copy of Project Disk = $8 (this specially marked disk is intended to be stored in a safe location and is not intended for regular use and is marked as such).
Additional Copy of Project Disk = $10 (this disk bears no special markings other than your customized text label that appears on all other disks in your project. It is suitable for gift giving and is intended to be enjoyed on a frequent basis. These additional project copies can be individually customized for a specific gift recipients at no additional charge).
Special digital media upgrade options.
Tyvek® sleeve Upgrade = $1.25 (the project and additional disks come with a windowed paper sleeve with a protective flap)
Archival Binder Sleeve Upgrade (without printed index sheets) = $1.50 (fully protects your disk, is water resistant, and has holes to place in a binder and a pocket on the back of sleeve for disk information or index sheet prints).
Archival Binder Sleeve with Printed Index Sheets = $11
NOTE: All additional disks are thoroughly quality controlled and tested to work in at least two separate devices appropriate to read that particular type of digital media. This extensive quality control process (among other customization) contributes to the cost associated with the duplicate disks.
