Is there a fee for processing my files? Once suitable files are received by Standard Digital Print, they must be loaded into a computer and processed before they can be printed. Most files require only 10-15 minutes of processing time before they are ready to be printed. More complex files may take from 30 minutes to several hours to process. Because processing requires the exclusive use of a computer, it is necessary to charge a processing fee for all files that take more than 20 minutes to process.
