Generation Imaging converts 16mm roll film and 35mm roll film. What is the difference? You can take a ruler to measure across the width of the film. If you do not have the film in front of you, most of the time 16mm contains over 2,000 frames, while 35mm contains around 500 images (total generalized ballpark).

35mm roll film usually contain journals, maps, blueprints, diaries, blueprints, or drawings (also a generalization, as any type of document can be on 16mm or 35mm). The key is the reduction ratio: 16mm film usually have images filmed at 24X, 28X, 32x, 42X, 48X and more (plus everything in-between), while 35mm reels usually are around 12X, 14X, 16X, or 18X.

Generation Imaging’s microfilm scanning services include greyscale imaging, bi-tonal scans, autocropping, manual cropping, splitting, indexing, creating OCR searchable PDFs, multi-page images, and database matching.

In addition to microfilm scanning services, Generation Imaging also provides microfiche conversion, aperture card scanning, slide scanning, Florida document scanning, and 16mm archive writing.

Generation Imaging offers the best microfilm conversion price due to having advanced scanning technology, being a wholesale scanning bureau, and not having corporate waste.

Generation Imaging just doesn’t make up microfilm scanning conversion prices based on nice whole numbers that “sound good”. Each project is calculated based on labor costs, timeframe, and what the service entails. This approach, which begins at a very inexpensive cost, allows G.I. to provide ulta-competitive pricing for roll film conversions.

200 DPI 16mm bi-tonal TIFFs or PDFs is the least expensive microfilm conversion, as is 16mm greyscale PDFs or JPEGs. Additional options include 300DPI, 400 DPI, uncompressed greyscale TIFFs, LZW TIFFs, and OCR searchable PDFs.

A 200DPI 35mm bi-tonal microfilm conversion is the least expensive of its kind, as well. And the same add-on services apply. In other words, if you want a 400DPI uncompressed greyscale OCR conversion to meet some requirement your IT director set, the cost will increase.

Generation Imaging also has special flat flee rates that are lower than advertised microfilm conversion prices online. So if you just have one reel or a few, G.I. can give you a great price for that.

Microfilm conversion prices have been on the way down since around 2004, and continued to be on the downward spiral since the mortgage bubble burst. The bottom line is that some organizations and individuals still cannot untie the purse strings and invest a small amount of money into a microfilm conversion.

However if you are looking for one, you have nothing to lose by contacting Generation Imaging and at least request a quote.

Finding information from libraries collection of articles that are stored on microfilm can be time consuming. Thousands of libraries around the nation offer this service. Records scanning presents libraries an opportunity to upgrade this service. Records scanning takes microfilm to digital format. This process applies to all all types of information. Records scanning helps libraries and everyone needing to search the records. Records scanning creates pdf or jpeg files from the microfilm and stores the information on computers; creating an automated retrieval system far more superior to traditional microfilm systems.

Some people that do routine searches in libraries, like historians and genealogical researchers, can spend hundreds of hours performing this tedious task. We have been contacted by many of these individuals for help with this matter. In return, we performed records scanning on their microfilm and copied the files on cd or dvd for them. Records scanning is applicable to just about all types of records on microfilm and this microfilm conversion is very common. We are confident that if you have information on microfilm, we can do records scanning to help you search through it easier.

The feedback we get from our clients that had records scanning done on their microfilm is very positive. This means that the result of records scanning works in all of these cases and that the time savings and quality of work is as good or better than expected. Good records scanning can only be accomplished with top quality microfilm scanners and experienced operators.

Computer Output Microfilm arrived in the 1960s. Previously the maximum reduction ratio was 24, but thanks to the COM process reduction ratios could be 48. The reduction ratio 0f 48x made it possible to fit 2, 270, or 300+ images on one microfiche card and over 4000 images on a 16mm microfilm. Ultrafiche was created in 1962, although they are still rare. Ultrafiche have reduction ratios of 150 and can store up to 3,200 images on a card. Some rolls of film with high reduction ratios can hold over 20,000 images.

Computer Output Microfilm can have blips (markers) on the film that divide documents from pages. A document contains the same pages of a file. COM also allows for barcodes, which can be located on roll film frames or on microfiche headers. These additions were to help with hand off management and inventory thanks to robots. Indeed, back in the 1960 to 1970s document management companies and IT professionals saw the future as being handled by robotic processes still using COM, as opposed to predicting the digital revolution. It’s a step above having complete faith in vacuum tubes.

Therefore it is ironic that many organizations eventually needed their Computer Output Microfilm  converted to PDF, TIFF, or JPEG. Many companies still need that to happen in the 21st century. If you have Computer Output Microfilm  or Computer Output Microfiche, please contact Generation Imaging for a scanning quote. Generation Imaging has years of experience handling the Computer Output Microfilm to image process.

Going to digital image actually is more versatile than using a system designed over 50 years ago.

Fire damages to the State Historical Research Center in the University of Missouri library could have damage valuable records. This is one advantage to digitize negatives from microfilm. Many Libraries that have valuable records in microfiche or microfilm format could be running a risk of loosing valuable information if the microfilm gets damaged. Instead, if they digitize negatives, the microfilm is transferred to digital files and all the information can be backed up and protected.

To digitize negatives, the microfilm needs to be scanned using a high quality microfilm scanner. This process will ensure that the digitize negatives will result in good quality scans. This process is fast and inexpensive and I encourage all libraries to explore the possibility of performing this task on their microfilm as well. Libraries and other historical centers can test their digitize negatives for free. By doing this, they can see samples of the information without an expense.

Digitize negatives also protects microfilm from age. The older the microfilm, the higher the chances of it developing vinegar syndrome. When this happens, the microfilm begins to smell bad. As this process worsens, the film may begin to lose quality. I you are able to get digitize negatives from the microfilm before this process starts, you could save the valuable information from disaster.

Microfilm scanning standards are often set by the end user, mainly the customer. There are so many options available today that a customer can pick what combination of options best fit their need. Although there are some basics to the microfilm scanning that are elemental. For example, the vendor is limited by the microfilm scanning equipment he is using. If the microfilm scanning hardware and software are not up to par, he may not be able to provide the end user with the best solution.

Some basic standards to consider important for any microfilm scanning project are microfilm scanning resolution, microfilm scanning reduction, and microfilm scanning output formats. The right microfilm scanning equipment should will have capacity to adjust for true DPI and reduction. This related to enlarging the image back to its original dimension and maintaining proper quality. In terms of formats, the software used should be able to generate the type of image that the used needs for the retrieval system.

No two microfilm scanning projects are the same and no two customers usually have equal needs. Therefore, providers of microfilm scanning services need to be prepared with the best possible microfilm scanning system to handle the variations.

Generation Imaging is a Florida microfilm scanning service bureau that converts 16mm roll film, 35mm roll film, all types of microfiche, aperture cards, color slides, photo negatives, photographs, paper documents, OCR, indexing, and 16mm archive writing. Generation Imaging specializes in these micrographic fields; that is G.I’s “niche”. G.I. Partners, LLC is a Florida microfilm scanning company located in Davie, South Florida.

There are a few reasons why some local clients who have film prefer to deal with a Florida microfilm scanning business as opposed to an out-of-state or out-of-country solution. There is a percentage of clients that prefer to drop off film or to be within driving distance of their project. Some local government bids have strict requirements to award the project to a Florida microfilm scanning organization.

But by far the number one reason why Floridians prefer to use a Florida microfilm scanning company is fear of losing reels in the mail. A second reason is shipping costs. The irony is that the bulk of Generation Imaging’s clients are out-of-state. Hundreds of clients can’t be wrong about sending film in the mail via USPS, Fed-Ex, or UPS. G.I. Partners’ international customers use DHL.

So as you can see, two truths exists that seem to contradict each other. But the bottom line is that whether you are a Floridian seeking a Floria microfilm scanning solution or if you are not in Florida yet looking for a company to scan film, do not hesitate to contact Generation Imaging for a low price quote.

How has scanning microfilm changed over the years? There is no question that the technological advances have improved image quality, speed/production, and user interface for scanning microfilm. Back in 1998, I was scanning microfilm with a Sunrise DOS scanner; the mouse was optional. In addition to obscure DOS commands, I had to quickly navigate several menus with arrow keys and Enter. Sometimes if my fingers were too fast, the program would freeze up, and I had to type some combination of CTRL-ALT-ESC- several times to restart it and begin the scanning microfilm process once again.

Scanning microfilm images to its hard drive was a no-no, even though many times operators made that mistake. After all, the pathnames had to be manually keyed, and heaven help you if you forgot a colon. The images were sent to an “enhancer” computer which ran ScanFix to rotate (!) the images to right read, deskew, and autocrop. I hated that old school crop, which can still be seen on newspaper images on Google archive or deeds on County websites. The program would eat into the sides at times, so the end product looks like it is “ripped”. Scanning microfilm took around 60- 80 images for many projects. We had a bunch of them. Training was a nightmare and operators required heavy supervision during production.

Now in 2011, scanning microfilm is much more efficient. The speeds are outstanding, especially for 200 DPI 16mm. The amount of labor in the production room has decreased, and those workers could be shifted to other processes or aspects of a company, or for small companies, a skeleton crew could technically hold the fort. The quality blows away 1990s images, especially with small fonts. On the user end, the Graphic User Interface (GUI) is light-years ahead, although the ideas (such as blip detection and sense area to detect frames) are still based upon the original DOS method.

This is not to say that scanning microfilm is just “hang and bang” or “load and go”, no matter what the advertisements say. Setting up the machines still requires a deep knowledge of what type of film you are working with, and the best way to bring out the quality. Setting up a network requires a professional. It can be argued that there are too many options and settings that one can accidentally mess up. Not everyone can be efficient at scanning microfilm because it is a mix of science and art- with the ability to be a productive worker. One huge advance is scanning microfilm is ribbons, which allows the operator or quality control auditor to detect the images and fix any mis-detects (such as cut-offs, skips, or two-in ones). The auditor can reverse positives and negatives and even change quality settings at the image level. The ribbon can be exported at different global settings (one “light” and one “dark”).

It’s a shame so many of my co-workers from “back in the day” never experienced with type of technology.

With so many websites calling themselves a scanning service bureau around the world, here are a few tell tale signs if you should consider moving on to partnering with Generation Imaging, instead of dealing with companies that frustrate you:

1. If you don’t receive an e-mailed quote response back or phone call within the same weekday or- max 24 hours- more than likely the microfilm scanning company is simply a broker or e-mail collector. It could also be that their customer service rep doesn’t check e-mail or the company does not have a backup worker that checks e-mail.
2. The company is unable or unwilling to furnish references upon request (in the microfilm scanning industry, many times clients require confidentiality, but a company still needs to have references).
3. The company has no direct phone number. This usually means you are dealing with a middle-man.
4. Up-charges- after you agree to a scanning price quote and send them the project, you get an e-mail indicating that the cost has doubled for some reason.
5. Some companies use techno-babble to make a project sound harder than it really is. They are like auto-mechanics. I heard one company say they might have to charge more for a positive 16mm microfilm vs a negative 16mm microfilm, thinking I was some rube. Contact Generation Imaging if you feel that you are being taken advantage of from someone else- Damian Hospital and Dan Gandul are straight-shooters and have decades of experience with all types of microfilm, microfiche, and aperture cards.
6. “I’ll call you back in 30 seconds”-…but they DON’T! When you actually get someone on the phone and ask them about the status of your microfilm project, you may hear a bunch of excuses why they can’t answer your simple question. Most of the time it’s because the company has no internal production organization…many Florida microfilm scanning companies are not known for their organizational skills. Dan and Damian have dealt with companies such as these and do not repeat their mistakes. Another time it occurs is when the person you are talking to isn’t even involved in the project (or is just a head-hunter), or it got subcontracted to someone else.
7. The microfilm company balks at your request to visit their office. Most of the time it’s because they have no office.
8. If you leave multiple phone call messages on an answering machine…still with no response…it’s time to move on to someone else, folks.

You know, I can go on and on about microfilm scanning companies. Just give Generation Imaging a try and see the refreshing difference- high quality at a low price for the new economy.

The housing crash had put microfilm scanning on ice.

Microfilm Scanning Trends

There are some indications that the end of the recession and economic struggles may be just around the corner, and not too late for some microfilm conversion services.

Due in part to a bad economy, many microfilm scanning projects were disregarded by some government agencies. The slow home building affected the assets government agencies counted on for microfilm scanning projects. Fees that some government offices once received from building permits and related services, were used to fund microfilm conversion projects. When the housing industry collapsed, the number of filing for development permits also slowed down, and with that, the income that once the county depended on also disappeared. A result of the loss in business from these government organizations has been cancellation of many microfilm conversion projects.

An economic study on new housing and population growth from MSN last month points to a near future change that may advance construction and affect microfilm scanning digitization. The information revealed that 1.6 million new homes are needed each year to keep up with population growth. The information also showed that within two years, the inventory of new homes will be gone, and that it takes about one year to build a new home.

The new home development has come to almost a complete stop, while population continues to grow. To avoid a problem of home shortages in the near future, construction needs to start soon. According to the study, this will be a bigger problem than what we have today. Either way, whether we foresee this issue now or later, it seems apparent that the housing industry will need to resume some new building within a year or so. Once a demand for housing sets in, the market should be motivated to increase construction.

An increase in construction means an immediate increase of building permits for development and zoning changes. Government agencies will be able to collect fees from the building and zoning permits and commence other projects. And once confidence levels begin to escalate, microfilm scanning and other document conversion projects should also begin to see life.

Microfilm scanning converts documents from microfilm to a digital format. Zoning departments that plan to advance their service by converting to a digital system often have many of the old documents stored on microfilm or microfiche cards. A microfilm scanning method will convert information from film to a digital file format. A digital system is able to provide better customer service and save money. In addition, there is an ongoing cost savings to the agency because the electronic system requires less labor to operate. Microfilm scanning is needed to make this conversion possible.
Generation imaging performs microfilm scanning all the time. At Generation Imaging, we can take care of all your microfilm scanning needs.

The main use of a microfiche reader is to enlarge information on the microfiche so that you can read it. You can view and read the contents on a microfiche cards when you enlarge the information by projection. The microfiche reader allows you to read information that is not seen with the naked eye.  The microfiche readers with two microfiche holders permits you to switch between two cards very fast. If you need to compare something on a microfiche card to something on a second microfiche, you can load both.

Microfiche readers have served a very important role in the history of microfiche. Once the most efficient way to read information from microfiche cards, microfiche readers are not so common anymore. If you dad microfiche cards, you had to have a microfiche reader to use them. Microfiche readers have become a secondary tool as opposed to the main way to read microfiche cards.

Today we encourage people that are looking for a microfiche reader, to consider scanning the microfiche card to convert the information to a digital format. Once the information is converted, it is stored on your computer. Once digitized, you will not need to use the microfiche or the microfiche viewer any more. You can do many things with a computer file that you were not able to do efficiently with the microfiche cards. But the greatest benefits of the microfiche conversion to digital is that you can store and retrieve the information super fast from anywhere . If you like the idea of scanning your microfiche, let us know.

Digital to Microfilm is also known as archive writing. Scanning Depot can create digital to microfilm conversion to 35mm microfilm or to16mm microfilm uncomplicated and economical for you.
Archive writers or digital to microfilm conversion is a practice that has been around for many years. It is used to produce a microfilm version of the information, for the intent of storing the microfilm for long term protection of the information. If anything were to happen to the digital images, one could remake the digital images from the microfilm by performing a microfilm scanning process.
Depending on the information, digital to microfilm conversion can create microfiche cards or rolls of microfilm. Computer Output to Microfilm or COM, converts data type information and creates COM microfiche cards or COM 16mm microfilm rolls. This type of data is reduced to make very tiny frames. The reduction can be from 28 to 48 times the original size.  Another digital to microfilm conversion is called “step and repeat” . Instead of data, the information here are documents such as computer generated drawings or scanned generated documents.  To view images that have been placed on film, a film viewer is used.
Sometimes the digital files come from original paper drawings that are very big. A 36″ by 48″ drawing can be scanned to create a digital image. Large drawings make very big 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 reduced as much and this helps preserve better quality in the digital to microfilm conversion. If the files are reduced too much, the resulting images can lose some of the quality in the process.
Converting digital to microfilm from large maps to 35mm microfilm or 35mm archive writing, requires special equipment. Finding a merchant that converts digital images to microfilm can be difficult. Scanning Depot can efficiently convert digital images to microfilm to produce 16mm microfilm or 35mm microfilm.

Only a seller with qualified operators should take care of your digital to microfilm conversion needs, to avoid problems .  This is even more important if the digital to microfilm conversion is to created 35mm film. A digital to microfilm conversion process may be more difficult because of the types of files converted. The quality of big format maps can be more difficult to work with because of shades of colors and contrast . The operator with experience will be able to make adjustments to assure the digital to microfilm conversion yields good results.

Go with a vendor like Scanning Depot that has many years of experience in the digital to microfilm conversion business.

Microfilm scanning price – 16mm roll film scanning and 35mm roll film scanning has dropped in recent years. Did you know that in the microfilm digitization industry many times  national corporations charge more because of their reputation or added services that clients may not even need?

However, in the past few years there has been a trend that has forced even the national companies to lower their microfilm scanning prices- 16mm and 35mm microfilm scanning government RFP bids.

For government RFP’s (Request for Proposals) the lowest price usually wins no matter how they are written, so all it took was one information technology company to send ripples throughout the microfilm conversion industry by going well below market value to secure a government bid.

Since microfilm government RFPs are very competitive and valuable many microfilm scanning service companies reevaluated their profit margins, and  document management companies either dropped out of bidding or cut their prices.

In keeping up with this low microfilm scanning trend, Scanning Depot has announced that it will digitize standard 200-300DPI 16mm microfilm for $.006 USD and 200DPI 35mm microfilm scanning for $0.01. This well below market value microfilm scanning cost applies to projects that exceed 10 million images, and is for a limited time only, and will expire February 28, 2010.

Other offers for discounted processing and indexing of the images may be combined for additional huge savings.

Use a company you have confidence in for your color slide scanning project.  Do you know what the market value is for slide scanning prices?

Some microfilm scanning companies may be able to do color slide scanning but most do not have the right equipment. If you have the need for color slide scanning, you may find that many places are not prepared to do this type of work for you.

A microfiche company should have the exact equipment obtainable for the right job. There are unique differences between color slide scanning and many other microfilm scanning. Document scanners are capable of scanning black and white or gray scale images at a extremely fast pace. In contrast, color slide scanners are slower because they need to capture and stow a lot more information from the slides.

A color slide scanning system is made for that purpose only and other types of scanners should not be used for this purpose. Developers of microfilm document scanners have focused those systems only for the function of scanning black and white microfilm at a very fast rate . Color slide scanning on the other hand, has to deal with a different quality level that hinders the rate of the capturing process.

Another difference that is important for the conversion process, has to do with quality. Document scanners that manufacture hundreds of images per minute can produce good images compared to the original document, but color slide scanning requires a a lot more attention to details. To capture all the information needed on a color slide, the camera used is important. When performing a color slide scanning process, it is also essential to used a good system and to pay close attention to the details.

A color slide scanning practice produces images that have a much higher files size when compared to images produced from regular black and white microfilm. Large file size requires a great deal of processing resources from the color slide scanning equipment as well as from any network or computer that processes or displays these images. The entire production process can only go as fast as the slowest machine in the chain. The color slide scanning unit is the most crucial piece of equipment in the process, but all other units need to be able to keep up with the capture process or the system will slow down.
