Handling...
...we
handle your photos, negatives or
transparencies with great care and the
processes we use
do not damage, affect or alter them in any
way whatsoever - the scanning
process is rather like photocopying
and does not therefore affect the original
top
|
|
Packaging...
...great
care must be taken when dispatching
photographs to us so that they do
not suffer damage of any kind. Our
suggestions are as follows...
|
| ...place the
photograph(s) between 2 pieces of
strong cardboard, medium density
fibreboard (mdf) or hardboard
(smooth side towards the photo).
The board needs to be bigger than
the photo(s), preferably by a
minimum of 1cm (½ inch) on all
sides making the board 2cm/1"
both wider and taller overall than
the photo, as
in the drawing... |
|
...then
tape all four sides together. Place
this in a waterproof packet and
seal. Finally place the whole
package in an envelope and clearly
PRINT both your address and ours
before posting... |
