My husband and I have "tinkered" with photo restoration for a few years. I have done a little of the hands on, and he prefers the digital. Mark has become pretty adept on PhotoShop, and his restoration work looks better than what is being offered at the local photo stores.
We've been doing a few things for customers here and there, but since our trip to the PMAI/PPFA show, I think we are ready to become a bit more serious about it and advertising it as a service.
(what a learning experience for us both).
We have a Epson 4870 scanner, the Epson R1800 printer, and Mark scoped out some new equipment at the show, but that comes later.
We plan on doing much of the work in house, but sending out other work (scan and send files), but my real question is pricing.
I'm thinking a straight labor charge of $40 per hour, plus a charge on each print based on size and type of paper. Am I on the right track?
