Both Mekel and Sunrise make high quality microfilm scanners that should be able to handle your microfilm rolls.. However, they are costly and you may want to consider a service bureau if it is a one time job (such as Aspen Systems Corp, Rockville, MD.) ---------- From: IMAGELIB To: Multiple recipients of list IMA Subject: Scanning Microfilm Date: Friday, August 30, 1996 8:32AMAs part of an ongoing project to digitize historic documents in Halton County we have come to the point where we would like to take our historic newspapers on microfilm and make them available on our Web site. We would like to buy equipment and do it in house rather than out source the project. Here are my questions:
1. Is 2000 dpi uninterpolated adequate for scanning microfilm?
2. Is there a scanner that can handle 100ft roll of microfilm without being "customized"?
3. I have just seen a brochure for a Microtek ScanMaker 35t plus that will do 1950 dpi uninterpolated. Any comments about their products.
