How Hard is Scanning Microfilm?

Scanning microfilm is no walk in the park, regardless of what some equipment vendors like to advertise. The Holy Grail of scanning microfilm has always been to automate the process as much as possible to increase productivity and decrease labor costs. As much as this is a profitable goal to strive for, the human element in scanning microfilm cannot be understated.

A human must determine the reduction ratio, i.e. how many times the frames were reduced from its original document size. The scanner operator must have the ability to measure the document frame and use an equation to verify the original document size. Operators must use their instincts and experience to notice if the reduction ratio changes in a project.

Scanning microfilm can product a multitude of different quality settings, and let's face it: quality is subjective. Some clients have different needs than others. One organization may insist on bringing out handwriting, while others have a need for seals or stamps. Some customers may not desire any noise or speckle, and will not permit a compromised scan. So it is futile to suppose that a machine has the ability to satisfy all scenarios. It takes human investigation and feedback from a client to set the quality standards, and it takes a human to perform the necessary trial and errors and setting modifications to achieve the optimal scan.

Scanning microfilm is truly a process that combines art and science, or creativity and technical aspects of production a final product.

Damian Hospital and Dan Gandul- two men whom I have worked with for years have showed me just how much focus and different scanning microfilm scenarios go into achieving an excellent final product.

How has scanning microfilm changed over the years? http://chilp.it/b51bb2

Have you ever considered convertingyour microfiche to digital images? http://chilp.it/c2da33

The easiest way to convert microfiche to PC is to have a scanning service bureau digitize it. http://chilp.it/dfc9a2

Turn Microfiche to Digital and Free Up Space

Have you ever considered converting your microfiche to digital images? You may not realize the advantages from an automated storage and retrieval system. The microfiche to digital conversion has many advantages that range from space saving, to reduction of related labor and manpower, and efficient customer services. There are many other benefits that all organizations using microfiche should seriously consider.

I had the opportunity to manage a massive microfiche to digital conversion project for an upscale corporation. At the time, the organization had 14 million documents stored within many thousands of microfiche cards. Since no microfiche to digital conversion had been performed, the company had developed a massive tray system to organized the cards for access to hundred of employees. Each microfiche retrieved for research, had to be returned to the exact location before another person could use it. The entire system used in excess of 20,000 square feet and hundreds of employees to work and maintain the system.

After the microfiche to digital conversion, the system changed dramatically. The entire collection of information was stored in a computer sitting on a desk. A backup was stored in hard drive for safety. The microfiche to digital conversion allowed separate users to access the data simultaneously over a network. And the service level increased to such a point that a handful of employees were able to complete the work previously done by hundreds. The cost of the microfiche to digital conversion was insignificant compared to the savings actualized by the company.

Easiest Way to Convert Microfiche to PC

The easiest way to convert microfiche to PC is to have a scanning service bureau digitize it. Many people don't realize how inexpensive the service is. But beware: not all scanning service companies have the same pricing. In fact, some scanning companies are totally outside of the market range.

Generation Imaging, located in South Florida, can convert microfiche for you at wholesale prices. That means the microfiche scanning cost includes no reselling fees or markups. Generation Imaging has excellent high volume conversion prices, and will also gladly assist researchers, veterans, or clients with just one fiche card or a few of them.

There are a few other options you can choose to convert microfiche to digital images, but they are more time consuming and the quality is suspect. For example, if one believes a Yahoo Answers exchange you could take photos of microfiche frames with a camera instead of using a professional scanner. On another forum, someone suggested using a slide scanner or flatbed scanner. Based on internet advertisements, one may believe one can use a ScanPro 2000 to convert microfiche, but the quality levels and time it takes to scan one card doesn't justify the pricetag.

Speaking of pricetags, new high end microfiche equipment is in the $50,000+ range. You can invest time in looking for used equipment to convert microfiche, but speaking as someone who has been in this industry for decades, have fun training a labor force, creating a workflow, setting up a network, getting support, and replacing parts in a timely manner.
