TLC Fee
For jobs that need a little extra TLC, such as excessive torn perfs, moldy film, splices that exceed 1 per reel, film that needs to be reversed, or fixed in any way beyond our normal prep and clean service, a TLC fee may be charged. Unfortunately, we typically can not see these issues until we start prepping your film. Should we run into any issues once in prep, we will notify you before proceeding if your job needs TLC. $100 per labor hour.
