Film output prices

—pricing as of 3/15/03

Basic film pricing, below, assumes that qualifying native application files are properly prepared and presented; in short, that they are “Ready-To-Run.” Briefly, this means that they must include all needed fonts and graphic elements, that the files as presented will color separate correctly without special procedures, and that composite and separated hard copy is included. Files not meeting these basic criteria could well involve additional costs depending on the particular issues encountered.

For additional details on what we consider to be “Ready-To-Run,” see our “Output ready” page

Files provided as “Output Ready” PostScript files (or, in some cases, as PDF files) may qualify for a $1.50/page discount from the basic price. For additional details on this, see our “Output ready” page.

Prices do not include imposition nor trapping, and are per film.
