Photo Scanning
Most printers print at a resolution of 300 dpi, so scanning at 300 dpi for standard photos is fine for resolution if the images are for a DVD slideshow or movie. If you plan to enlarge or edit the image, scanning at 600 dpi is recommended. We can scan at higher resolutions by request, just mention it on the quote form. Pricing for standard photo scanning is shown in the table below.
