(Get Adobe "Acrobat Reader" for PDFs) Shipping - We recommend using the United States Postal Service (USPS) Over night or Priority, United Parcel Service (UPS), Federal Express (FEDEX), Airborne or similar shipping methods. "Over night" delivery is generally not necessary and allowing delivery to take two or three days is usually well worth the cost savings. The important feature is to have shipment tracking and a signed receipt. These services offer free shipping boxes, pick-up service in most areas and are often available at many locations outside of the United States. Please note: In the case of photographs and most other art - Insurance values are restricted and minimal. Contact the specific shipper for details. Generally we will return your completed order in the same manner in which it was originally shipped. Standard Archival Negatives - These negatives are both the most popular and cost effective. Using exceptionally fine grain 35mm film, these images are easy to store and catalogue and will easily produce exceptional image up through 8"x10" (20cm x 25cm). High Definition Archival Negatives - These larger 120 format negatives are recommended when the expected resulting print size will exceed 8"x10" (20cm x 25cm) and/or subsequent retouching or restoration is anticipated.. Duplicate Sets of Negatives - Provided in sets of three (3), 50% of the quantity cost.

Cleaning is crucial toward recovering the original image's latent quality.

If you look closely, you can see the dirt on the tip of the cotton swap, which was removed from less than two square inches of the original print's surface.

Our studio has been successfully cleaning and retouching thousands of original images for decades!

FREE image cleaning is included with our Archival Negative services!
