Copy-flo
Collection Management may request a copy-flo: an acid-free paper copy made from microfilm.
Copy-flo is currently priced as follows:
1 to 140 images $ 50.00 (minimum charge)
141 to 250 images $ .35 per image
251 to 499 images $ .32 per image
500 to 749 images $ .30 per image
750 to 999 images $ .28 per image
1000 to 1500 images $ .25 per image
Note: image count is determined by size and placement of original material.
Many books are filmed two pages on one image, therefore, and in most cases but not all, books of 300 pages would encompass only150 images.
Reprographics Unit personnel can inform you of the approximate number of images per filmed item and the image/page ratio.
Payment for Copy-Flo
All charges for Copy-flo will be charged to Collection Managers respective OCO account.
