Microfiche scanning

Whilst microfiches offer a fairly compact form of storage they require expensive readers and printers which can only be used by one person and regularly break down!

Unless you also have backup copies stored in a fire safe or off-site then they are also just as prone to disaster as the original documents.

We can scan your microfiches and archive them with all your other documents so any user can access them instantly from their desktop.

Free Microfiche Scanner Viewing Software

We can also supply our FREE Alchemy or QuickImage viewer as part of our microfiche scanning service so all you need to access them is any PC. Simple!

We Can Scan All Sizes and Types of Microfilm

Our Sunrise Imaging, Bell & Howell, Wicks & Wilson and other microfiche scanners can cope with jacket, roll, COM, 35mm aperture card or any other form of microfiche data.

DCS are one of a handful of UK suppliers approved by the Public Records Office (National Archives) to scan their valuable microfiche information.

Our Wicks & Wilson scanner can also read punched Holrith data direct from the card, if available, which reduces the indexing required for large volumes.

The final images, if microficheed originally to a good standard, will then be just as high a quality as a direct scan of the original document or drawing with up to 400dpi resolution across the original sheet size.
