Cost structure:
Prints: 39 cents; each at 300 dpi.
Negatives: 44 cents; each at 2,000 dpi.
Minimum order? None.

Turnaround time:
Promised our scans in three to five days (turnaround changes based on how busy the company is); delivered them in five business days.

Scan quality:
Print scans lacked detail yet captured errors like dust or scratches. Negative scans were better.

Bottom line:
Scans were among the poorest in quality, and the company was on the high end in terms of prices.

Grade: C
