• Already Printed loose photographs only. Remove all photos from albums, envelopes, etc. Make sure no staples, paper clips, Post-It notes, etc. are attached and that there is no sticky material on the photo* which can cause the photo to stick to other photos. Make sure no photographs are damaged, no photographs thicker then a Polaroid. Newspaper clippings, odd shaped photographs and laminated images cannot be scanned. Photos must be square or rectangular in shape. Photos must be able to bend/curl easily.

• ALL photos sent to be scanned must be grouped by size. For example, all the 4x6's are bundled together, all the 5x7's are bundled together within the box. The entire order must be organized in this manner. Picture must be sorted by size laying horizontally, face up, (all pictures get scanned horizontally regardless of orientation), in stacks of 100 to 150 with a rubber band around them. Pictures in albums, envelopes and plastic bags will not be accepted. Pictures can be no smaller then 2x3 inches and no bigger then 8.5x12 inches. Any photo that does not meet these requirements will not be scanned and returned to you unscanned.
