1) principle causes of increases over these fees are
over and under exposure (excess density) and dirt or other artifacts
 

2) originals returned and the scan will be on CD if it fits, otherwise DVD

 
3) a lot of people are of the opinion that an image of at least 300dpi is needed to make good prints, this depends on so many variables, we discourage the use of such yardsticks, there is no rule.  Case in point, an image which is 8 x10 to begin with which is to be reproduced 8 x 10, only need be 150 dpi, in most cases.  A 35mm slide scanned at 300 dpi is only good for making 3 x 5 prints, and would suffer as an 8x10.  
4) all printing is controlled from within Adobe PhotoShop, and it has a limit on images of 1 gig, or so they tell us.
