Shift your filming into high gear.

Streamline workflow and improve imaging.

• One-step capture on film and digital media.
• Shift more work onto hardware and software.
• Automate more of your process.

If you microfilm documents today, Kodak will show you a better way to capture documents to film. Upgrade to an electronic microimaging platform from Kodak and go digital. With electronic microimaging, a scanner captures the source documents and creates and organizes images. Image processing automatically compensates for variations in document contrast and density. Capture software can be used to edit, enhance, group, and index images before committing them to ISO/ANSI standard, 16-mm KODAK Reference Archive Media. The result is logically organized film that’s virtually perfect, with uniform density, cropped, right-reading pages, and accurate image marks. You can improve image quality and productivity while reducing labor and turnaround times. A corresponding ASCII-based Reference Archive Index is matched to the film to enable manual or computer-driven retrievals. Moving to electronic microimaging can give you two additional strategic advantages.

First, you can now deliver the document images on film and on digital media without an additional capture step. Second, KODAK i9600 Series Writers, which manage the output side of an electronic microimager platform, can accept digital document images from virtually any source. This can enable you to expand your capabilities to include reference archiving for other applications. Now it’s easier and more efficient than ever to continue providing secure, long-term retention. Retire your microfilmer and upgrade to electronic microimaging from Kodak. Your end-users and your bottom line will both note the improvements in quality and productivity.

Handle them once. Reference them forever.
Send your documents through an Electronic Microimager.

Chances are you microfilm because you want to store documents in a way that’s archival, compact, standardized, and manageable at an affordable cost. Think of electronic microimaging as a digital upgrade. It helps you maximize the performance of your process and quality of your images with much less time and labor than conventional microfilming.

STREAMLINE YOUR WORKFLOW WITH THE POWER OF DIGITAL.

Electronic microimaging allows you to shift more of the work you do today onto hardware and software. Thus, automating more of your process.

• Instead of presorting incoming paper, you can scan mixed batches and sort images into logical folders, post-process.
  
  
• Bar code recognition from image can be used to build an index.
  
  
• Automatic image processing can compensate for variations in exposure, straighten images, and remove edges at the full scanning speed.
  
  
• You can perform QC/QA on images and do any required rescanning and insertion of images in the right order before producing film to avoid wasting film and processing.

ARCHIVE WITH THE POWER OF ANALOG.

• You get intact, high-quality film images with uniform density, even inter-document spacing, and clear image marks, which translates into fast, accurate retrieval and optimum readability on workstation screens, prints, and faxes.
  
  
• Digital media, such as CD-ROM or tape, can be utilized without any migration or image integrity concerns.
  
  
• The paper documents can be vaulted or destroyed sooner, reducing the need for on-site storage. Later, any online files can be purged automatically based on the Reference Archive Index generated by the Writers.

Best of all, your microfilm operators can move to scanning with very little training. Automatic exposure control lessens or eliminates the need to tweak controls, so new operators can be brought up to speed quickly. Image capture becomes a simple, easy load and go operation.
