                            Roll Recutting

 

Our recutting is strictly custom work, being either orders from

our growing catalog, combined scanning/recutting, or individual

requests for cutting a midi file supplied by the customer. Our

technology is state-of-the-art, and we can produce rolls in any

width up to 20" with any perforation scale. Our greatest strengths

are flexibility, knowledge and personal attention. 

 

Generally speaking we are not a "production" shop and do not

routinely perforate many copies of the same roll at once. Of

course we are happy to oblige customer requests for additional

copies and welcome your requests and ideas for new projects.

 

As with roll scanning, our pricing is based both on labor

and instrument time.  The terms and conditions shown under

"roll scanning" also apply here, with the following

changes and/or additions: 

 

Pricing And Terms:

1. Roll cutting of midi files to a single spooled, boxed

and tabbed recut is provided at the inclusive instrument

time/labor rate of $50. per hour.

2. A minimum of $150. will be charged for cutting the first

roll of several, or for cutting a single roll.  Multiple

copies of the same exact roll will be cut at the rate

of $50./hr. in addition to the minimum $150. charge.

3. Our equipment operates at speeds dependent upon how

many holes are cut at a given time.  For example, highly

orchestrated "busy" arrangements take longer than more

thinly arranged rolls.  As a rough guide, we generally

average 250-300 feet of paper per hour. This is dependent

on the musical content of the midi file and does not

include set-up time. 

4. Set up time is minimal in the case of most roll formats.

Work involved in completing the finished product is included

in the cutting cost.

5. We maintain a stock of appropriate cardboard inner cores

and boxes to accommodate the majority of American nickelodeon

and orchestrion rolls.  In cases where additional materials

are needed, such costs are to be borne by the customer.

5. Midi files sent to us for the purpose of producing paper

rolls will only be accepted on floppy disks, CDs or DVDs.

Midi files sent over the internet will not be accepted.
