Microfilm and Microfiche

Many offices and institutions have microfilm and fiche libraries that are decades old. The film may have been stored improperly or used so much that it becomes damaged. Deterioration and damage to microfilm can be irreversible or very costly to repair. Don’t risk losing your documents to the ravages of time or overuse. ScanSmart can take your microfilm or microfiche and convert it to stable, searchable, digital TIFF or PDF files.

Once in digital form, the microfilm images can be incorporated into your existing electronic documents for drastically improved accessibility. Additionally, your images will now be much more secure once you include them into your back-up procedures. Disaster recovery planning for these records goes from nearly impossible to done.

What is Microfilm?

Microfilm is a long strip of processed micro images on a reel or in a cartridge. Jacketed Microfiche is a short strip of microfilm that is stored in a casing. Microfilm can come in two widths (16mm and 35mm) and can either be stored on a reel or in a cartridge. Cartridges are used to simplify insertion of the film into a reader or a retrieval device.

CanoFile Conversions

A wealth of valuable information remains stored in obsolete data formats, archived on outdated media. With every passing year, the difficulty of restoring Canofile data grows, and the point of complete obsolescence draws nearer. Some data formats and media types stand the test of time, but many do not. As with 8” and 5¼” floppy disks, the useful life has long since ended for the Canofile format. Organizations that require ongoing access to images stored in Canofile formats are probably already facing daily frustrations in doing so, and the situation is destined only to get worse.

We specialize in the quality conversion of Canofile 250/510 Disks to TIFF/PDF formats, with quick turnaround times.
