Fees for Images
|
Digital images |
All files are sized to a minimum of 8" x 10". Higher resolution files are available upon request but may incur a new scan fee.
• 72 dpi JPEG: $15
This small file size is ideal for viewing on a computer screen. This would also be sufficient for a PowerPoint presentation. Small prints can be made, but some quality may be sacrificed. Compare this file size to images seen on web sites.
• 300 dpi JPEG: $25
This high resolution file size is ideal for making a print. This selection serves most users needs and is the most frequently requested file size. This is the largest size file that can be emailed successfully (maximum 10 MB).
• 300 dpi TIFF: $25
This uncompressed high resolution file size is ideal for publication. Also consider this option if a detail of an image needs to be examined. Tiff files are too large to send via email. Please see Shipping Options for alternative delivery methods.
• New scan: additional $10
This fee will be charged if the item requested has not already been digitized. |
