Microfiche Scanning and Conversion servicesMicrofiche slides are a document storage format which were very popular decades ago. This is because it was easier to store these documents on a microfiche slide rather than keep them stored away as paper documents. Now that we are moving into the digital age it is becoming more beneficial to have these archived files available electronically. Digitising your businesses fiche makes good sense, we back up our hard drives and it gives extra peace of mind that your valuable documents can be stored in a compact and easily accessible way.We scan and convert these images into convenient electronic formats such as TIFF, JPEG or PDF for ease of access and a more secure, convenient electronic method of storage. A Microfiche is a 105 x 148 mm film holding many small images of singular archived documents. It is better known as a 16mm microfiche, a jacketed 16mm microfiche or a COM fiche. Microfiche either hold a maximum of around 60 or 270 images per slide. This will depend on what type/size of microfiche you have.
Microfiche Reader: Why Conversion is the superior choice Although a Microfiche Reader might make sense initially, they can be quite heavy, cumbersome machines and also very expensive. Even second-hand machines can cost around £3000. That's why it makes more sense to take up a scanning and conversion service. Not only is it a great investment for your organisation, it's also more productive as multiple members of staff will be able to view the scanned Microfiche files digitally from their individual computers. One Microfiche Reader can only allow one member of staff use at one time. So not only is scanning a space saver, it's also an incredible cost saver in both staff hours and finances in comparison to the purchase of one Microfiche Reader. And by using Pearl Scan for your scanning you can also have our exclusive search software so you'll be able to search and get quick results. How will digitising my fiche help me?
