To gain real knowledge in the microfilm scanning industry, you need to get your hands dirty with actual production process. Here is an example of some project we are working on. Each one is unique and presents the operator with different challenges. An experienced staff such the one at Scanning Depot can process all these projects for you.
We completed a 35mm roll film containing building permits, 16mm cartridges containing school records, and 16mm roll film containing college transcripts. The 3m cartridges were the more challenging ones, but thanks to our experience and updated microfilm scanning equipment, we were able to convert the cartridges to TIFF with no problems.
The 35mm film was unfortunately filmed poorly, but we still were able to detect all of the images using specialized detection programs. It's easier said than done, of course, but there is nothing like hands on to gain experience.
