16mm Microfilm Conversion Pricing

The cost of getting a 16mm microfilm conversion project has decreased since the 1990s, due to faster scanner technology and increased competition. However the price of buying a 16mm roll film scanner has not decreased, so organizations still looking for a microfilm conversion solution prefer scanning service bureaus.

Why? Well, undertaking a microfilm conversion project involves buying heavy duty equipment, paying for maintenance, hiring or training labor, learning everything from scratch, creating new space in your office or getting a new office, and creating a new production workflow. In other words, a microfilm conversion is not something that an organization could just jump into by itself, and an organization must be understand what goes into one.

The most efficient way is to outsource the microfilm conversion to a scanning bureau like Generation Imaging, because it is hands-off, and the microfilm conversion price is not expensive.

Information about 16mm Roll Film

-16mm roll film has no enforceable standards in terms of how many images are contained on it. They are usually around 200 feet or 100 feet. On the average a 16mm roll film contains about 2,000 frames, although they can hold anywhere from just 1 image to over 20,000 duplex images.

- The nature of 16mm is more versatile than 35m roll film. 16mm can be duplex (two frames in one), duo, barcodes, and blipped. Duo roll film uses both sides of the film to contain more images, starting at one side and wrapping around at the end of the film and working its way back to the beginning, like a snake. Blips are small markers that group frames by document start pages. Barcodes contain computer data, and are used like advanced blips.
