Digital to Microfilm conversion is commonly known as archive writing. All digital to microfilm conversions you may need can be performed by Scanning Depot for a very low cost.

The digital to microfilm conversion process has been around for many years. This process is used for creating a backup of the information in a film format, for storage and safety of the information. New images can be reproduced from the microfilm if anything were to happen to the digital files.

A digital to Microfilm conversion creates fiche cards or roll film. Computer Output to Microfilm or COM, converts data type information and creates COM microfiche cards or COM 16mm microfilm rolls. Information of this type can be reduced to make very small frames. Data of this type can be reduce 28 to 48 times. Step and Repeat is another digital to microfilm process . The difference is that COM uses data to make frames and step and repeat can contain other types of documents. Once the digital to microfilm conversion is completed, the information on the microfilm can only be read if viewed through a microfilm viewer because the data is to small to be seen with the naked eye.

Digital files are created by scanning documents that can be of many different sizes. A 36″ by 48″ drawing can be scanned to create a digital image. Large drawings make very large digital images when they are scanned. When transferring large format digital images to microfilm, it is better to use 35mm microfilm. Bigger film means that the digital files will not need to be reduces as much and this helps retain better quality in the digital to microfilm conversion. Trying to reduce very large drawings too much can cause a lose of information.
