Fees and standards
Reproduction costs differ based on the turnaround time, item format, size and page volume.
Our regular delivery standard is 14 business days. Some services have a “rush” option that can be completed in 4 business days. Some orders may take longer to complete if the items require processing or conservation treatment before being reproduced.
You can use this page to estimate the cost of your request. Final totals including tax are calculated after the reproduction is complete. We require a $100 deposit on any order estimated to be over $500.
