Calculation: Length x Width x .030 = $_______
For example: 11” x 17” = 187 sq in x .03 = $5.61
NOTE: You will be charged for the amount of film used (17” or 24” x .03) no matter what the size of your image. For example: 8”x10” would be calculated as 17”x8” x .03 (17” is the smallest roll width). To maximize your film, create a single file with multiple images.
To pick up your film, you must first pay via YU card. We do not accept cash. You can deposit cash on your Yu-card at the Scott Library or can deposit funds online.
