Guide to Pricing

The prices for restorations, retouching, enhancements, digital sketches and paintings below are a guideline only
Although each photograph is assessed and quoted individually the following guideline has been provided to allow you to get and idea of the prices range your job may fall into. Each job has different variables such as service required, damage to the photo, size, composition, paper type used, problems within the photo, framing ect. Therefore these prices here can only serve as a guide. You will be given a firm quote for your job before you place your order and before your job is started. These prices are subject to change without notice.

Quotes

Once as we quote a price we will stand by it, providing you do not change your requirements. Should you change requirements we reserve the right to adjust the price accordingly.

Please Note

Due to the increasing problem of fraud on the internet we are no longer accepting orders without a deposit of at least 50% of the quoted price. We have been trusting in the past but unfortunately our trust has been abused by unscrupulous people who want us to do work for them and then try to avoid paying for it. Therefore we have reluctantly decided that a deposit is required BEFORE we commence any job over the internet.

New - Archival Gold DVDs

DVD example

Now you have a choice of regular DVDs or the new Archival Gold. Why Archival Gold? Each disc is manufactured using proprietary unique dual reflective layers to maximise both compatibility and longevity. To further extend media lifetime, Verbatim UltraLife DVDs contain a hard coating on the recording side to protect the discs from scratches.

Verbatim’s proprietary dual reflective layer technology is comprised of a silver layer for broad compatibility and a gold layer for long archival life. The highly reflective silver layer allows the UltraLife DVD-R disc to look like a standard silver disc to DVD drives and recorders. This feature provides a low initial error rate after recording, important for long archival life, and the same drive read/write compatibility as standard silver-only discs.

The gold reflective layer, naturally resistant to corrosion, prevents oxygen from coming through the DVD bonding material and corroding the silver reflective layer. Silver oxidation can be a primary factor which limits the lifetime of DVD media.

The combination of Verbatim’s patented AZO DVD recording dye, revolutionary Dual Reflective Layer technology and proprietary hard coating enables Verbatim UltraLife archival-grade DVD-R discs to deliver new levels in longevity and performance without sacrificing compatibility.

Add $10.00 to your project for Archival Gold.
