Cost structure:
Prints: 49 cents each at 300 or 600 dpi.
Negatives: 39 cents each at 2,000 dpi.
Minimum order? None.

Turnaround time:
Promises scans within two weeks; delivered ours in four business days.

Scan quality:
The scans had realistic color, though they lacked some detail. Those from negatives were occasionally washed out.

Bottom line:
The scans were good. But the (comparatively) high prices and the laborious multipage order form were turn-offs.

Grade: B-
