Premium Services
Premium Services are arranged by appointment only. Initial contact can be made via phone or email, email is preferred. Cost and timing of each job is based on a quote. Patrons are encouraged to assemble their jobs as complete as possible - better to submit 1 job of 6 items, than 2 jobs of 3.
With media we discourage pre-viewing. We like to imagine that the next time the item runs is the last time the item runs.
We will not digitize material that is commercial, even in excerpts. Exceptions can be made ONLY if we have permission in writing from the copyright holder. We can help with these inquiries, but as this is a service, we will not process any materials with a “fair use” exemption.
Vintage equipment is often being repaired. We never know which item might be “in the shop” and if something goes down we will try and alert you as soon as possible.
Pricing
All Premium Services carry a $10.00 minimum. All services require a formal quote. Materials are only dropped off by appointment at which point we will need time to review your materials before a final cost and time to completion can be determined. Please allow 1-2 business days for the quote.
Exact pricing is available through consultation only - generally the rates are based on the following:
