How Much Does It Cost to Digitise a Negative Archive?

The cost depends on the number of frames and the labour needed before and after scanning.

Format identification, selection, cleaning, flattening, file naming, TIFF delivery and restoration can each change the quotation.

A practical method

  1. Estimate boxes, rolls or frames
  2. Separate formats
  3. Choose full archive or selection
  4. Define master resolution and file type
  5. Decide naming and folder structure
  6. Request a test batch before full production

What to avoid

  • Requesting a blind per-frame price without condition details
  • Scanning duplicates unnecessarily
  • Mixing restoration with basic digitisation
  • Ignoring return and storage
  • Starting without priorities
