Kinko's won't scan my OA anymore

IANAL

I had to look at that for a bit before I figured what it stood for.

 

Everyone that isn't one should put that in their sig line.

 

I can think of a couple of threads that could have used that blanket disclaimer.

All you have to do is get some white out and smear it over the Marvel copyright stamp..simple,then go photocopy it.

so i went back the next day,a different person was the .No problem.

Or they could leave the art alone (the word "smear" in the context of OA is slightly disturbing) and just do any of the other, less destructive, things that have been suggested in this thread.

They did let me use the self-serve copier so I took the advice of making slightly smaller laser copies and scanning those myself. Worked great, and cost less!

You guys should really ask Shield how he does it. If you haven't checked out his thread and what he's been doing with his scans, here it is:

Another option would be to find an employee at Kinkos and unleash some charm and wit on them. Tends to always work for me in these types of situations. A little flirting can go a long way. Once you have them smiling and giggling, go in for the kill question..."Do you think I could get this scanned"? You may get this, "Well, I'm really not supposed to...but.." Then you know you got em.

Yeah, I can't imagine going to the counter for this sort of thing. Most of the time people are doing this for digital display anyway, so scanning at full size is just overkill.
