What is the best place (quality and price) to scan or copy 12x12 scrapbook pages? I made some memorial pages of my grandfather and want to make copies for my grandma. I can't bare to part with the orginals. A few years ago, I had it done at a local scrapbook store, but they are no longer in business.
I did a Google search using “copy service” “western new york” as the search terms. It yielded three local results (I’m not local so I cannot verify or recommend):

Any copy store can do it. I did that for my husband's mom, aunt, and uncle when their father passed away. I was at home on bedrest with a problematic pregnancy so it was good for all of us.
In my searches, which included Kinko's, most 12 inch copiers will make you lose 1/2 inch off one edge of your page. It is a built in white border, so hopefully there isn't too much journaling or pictures that might get cut off. The employee that helped me copy, was very patient trying to get the best quality of the page. Be sure to ask for acid free paper.
If you have the ability to scan the page into your computer you can then download it onto a professional digital scrapbooking site that makes copies of your prints. It would be a tiresome process but if you can make it work the results will be worth it. Here are two places to get you going that can copy one 12x12 page for as little as $2.00 each, plus shipping. You will NOT lose any of your edges or have a white border with these places.
I'm still searching. I don't have the ability to scan larger than an 8 1/2x11 page at home. I seem to be finding that they don't MAKE copier's larger than 11x17, which is why as said above, an inch or so gets cut off. Kinkos can do it....BUT, they said it would cost 7.95 per page JUST TO SCAN THEM and an additional 7.95 to print them. I can't afford to spend $16 per page. I could recreate them for way less. I'd just have to hunt down identical papers and embellishments.
They do a great job! My friend had an entire 12x12 album (baby's first year) duplicated for the grandparents and it looked amazing, and they are actual 12x12 pages. You do not need to be able to scan your album pages in and e-mail them to them, you actually send them your album. I have copied the info directly from their site for you.
From Scrapbooks to Share site:
"Since Scrapbooks to Share was founded by a Creative Memories scrapbooker, we understand the importance of carefully handling your scrapbook. Once at our office, we store the scrapbooks on a shelf until they can be scanned. When we are ready to scan a scrapbook we 1) disassemble it from the cover, 2) scan every page, 3) reassemble it into the cover, and 4) immediately place the scrapbook back on the shelf until delivery."
Where do I get 12 x 12 scrapbook pages copied?
