Copy your photo albums
Copy your scrapbooks

Finer Photo can make beautiful, hard-bound copies of your photo albums and scrapbooks.

Using our state of the art scanning and copying methods,
we will precisely copy your scrapbooks and photo albums
and create a hard-bound book that can be shared with
family members and friends who also cherish the memories
captured on those pages.

Pricing:

Scrap books and photo albums come in many varieties, so we like to see them, their condition, binding method, etc. to
confirm the price, but generally it costs about $3.50 per
page (single-side) to scan or photograph each page.

Printing a Hard-Bound book costs $2.00/side

So, for example, if you had a photo album with 10 sheets, hence 20 sides, the scanning would cost $70.00 ($3.50 x 20)

Sometimes people stop there, and we put the resulting scans on a CD for posterity.

If you'd like us to print a hard-bound reproduction of your 20 page photo album or scrapbook, the cost would be $40.00
(20 x $2.00)

FAQs

How are the pages reproduced?
We'll examine the pages, binding, and fastenings to determine if its better to scan the pages on a high-resolution flatbed scanner, or if we should photograph each page in our studio.  We will strive to find the best blend of high quality imagery and careful handling of your originals.  The price for either of these methods is the same.

How are the copied pages printed?
We will utilize our state of the art digital printers from Canon and Xerox to faithfully reproduce your pages.  Each page is printed on heavyweight 100#  paper.

What size are the finished copies?
We like to create 12x12 bound copies of your albums.  This size has several advantages:

• If your photo album currently has rectangular pages, our square pages will provide ample room to make notes on each page, for purposes of identifying people or events.
• If your Current album has larger photos or clippings that had to be inserted 'sideways' in the book in order to fit on the page, we will re-orient them correctly in your new finished 12x12 book.
• Most scrapbooks are square, and fir nicely on our 12x12 pages

How many pages can the new copies accommodate?
Our hard-bound books can hold 20 sheets of 100# paper.  If you'd like additional page capacity, we can special order the covers for you at additional cost.

What about the plastic sheets over the photo pages?
Some photo albums incorporate plastic sheets over each photo page.  Often those sheets are stuck to the photos, wrinkled, etc.  If we can easily flip the plastic sheet out of the way, we will.  Otherwise, we'll do the best we can to minimize glare and artifact from the plastic covers.  Your final pages may have some areas of glare... but it will look no worse than it does when you're flipping through it on your lap!

How log does it take?
Generally, it takes about a week.  If you have a special need (tight deadline for a gift or party), we can discuss.
