Most orders are shipped within 3-5 business days after your order is received. Please note there are some exceptions. Film shot on a non-standard format will take some extra time due to manual scanning. This includes old 110 film developing, 126 film format developing, etc.

Additionally, any film that arrives damaged (torn sprockets, overlapped frames, uneven frames) might take longer.

Standard charge for film developing applied only. And we will process a partial refund for the services we cannot fulfil.

At Printpoint we offer scanning service in one of 3 scan sizes. Scanned files are uploaded for web viewing, downloading or printing. Remember that digital files are compressed as JPEGs with maximum quality which will make the file size appear smaller until it’s opened in an image editor.

Standard Scan

Standard scans will be more than enough for most people. These digital files have enough resolution to produce 5”x7” prints and more than enough resolution for emailing, posting on websites or social media.

You are solely responsible for creating back-ups of your digital content.

Unfortunately, it’s not unusual to have a few photos missing with film. When it comes to disposable cameras, the main cause is the flash not being used, especially indoors. What you see is not the same as what the film can see, even if a room is brightly lit to you, the camera still needs the help of the flash to get a good result. The flash is critical to have any hope of getting good images or any images at all when taking photos indoors or in dark places.

Another cause for this can be camera malfunction. Cheaper disposables often use poor quality film and the cameras themselves can even be on their second use which can cause issues. The shutter not opening or the camera not firing can lead to blank images and you might not even know it’s happened. Here at Print Point, we highly recommend that you use tried and trusted brands such as Kodak or Fujifilm to help avoid disappointment.

This is purely a software issue with our scanner. You are not missing any photos. The best film scanning equipment was from the late 90’s & early 2000’s. So naturally we use the best. This unfortunately comes with its own set of problems. In this example the older software is numbering the photos in-correctly sometimes. This cannot be fixed but you haven’t lost any images as a result of this.
