Important Lab Rules & Requirements
To protect our delicate high-speed equipment, all items brought into the lab must meet these criteria:
Clean & Dry: Completely free of dust, dirt, and hazardous mold.
No Metal: Remove all staples, paperclips, and pins prior to your session.
No Sticky Residue: Ensure there is no wet glue or old album adhesive on the backs of photos, which will ruin the high-speed rollers.
Drive Reminder
Please bring a newer USB 3.x Flash Drive or External SSD (formatted as ExFAT or NTFS) to take your files home. Always bring a standard USB thumb drive along as a backup device just in case Windows 11 struggles to read your external hard drive.
