How to choose a Microfilm or Microfiche Scanner?

 The first question has to be about the application. What do you with to accomplish with the microfilm scanner?

For most users, the answer is that they are replacing an aging Reader Printer that is needed to access their microfilm records. In this case, the user simply needs a reliable system to be able to view, print and capture images digitally as needed. This most common application does not need the most expensive or highest resolution model available, just a quality system that will let them access their film as needed and make prints for image files for distribution. In this case, the Micro-Image Capture 9 would be a great choice >> MIC9

The Micro-Image Capture 9 is the most current model with an 18MP imager and high production scanning software that automatically detects images on screen and crops / de-skews for easy capture by mouse or included footswitch. The Micro-Image Capture 9 is available as a Fiche/Ap Card only model ($3,975.00) or the Universal Motorized Roll Film model which adds a motorized roll film carrier for 16 & 35mm microfilm on rolls and still retains the fiche carrier so you can also work with fiche, jackets and AP cards. The MIC9M sells for $5,775.00  Micro-Image Capture 9 systems work with Windows 10 and Windows ll

For a select few users, the answer is they have a microfiche or microfilm library that they wish to convert to digital files. This customer needs an automated, high speed scanner in order to produce the throughput required to scan their entire records library. High speed microfiche and microfilm scanners can cost $40,000 - $60,000 new and about half that price for pre-owned refurbished systems. Microfilmworld.com does sell both new and used production scanners so please contact sales@microfilmworld.com or call 866-754-8885 x1 to discuss your requirements and for a price quote.

Another option is to outsource your microfiche, microfilm and Aperture card scanning to Microfilmworld.com.
