Hi Sir may we ask if what is the difference between Kodak 2400DSV-E to microfiche?
Thank you.

[@thedigitalimagingchannel]

Hi there, the 2400 is a hardware unit designed to read/scan/print microfiche. Microfiche sheets are the actual units that contain images and and data.

[@SpectralightPhoto]

Thanks for the video! Besides storage - how one handles the film is very important. Avoid touching the images on the film with ungloved fingers as you will leave fingerprints on those images from the oil on your fingertips. Wear white cotton gloves to avoid those issues.

[@thedigitalimagingchannel]

Appreciate the comment! We've worked on plenty of projects where white gloves are required, always makes it more interesting.

[@TriPham-j3b]

It is cheapest compare to data base cost on servers or book shelves

Hey Danny, glad that our video conjured up some (hopefully happy!) memories of using microfiche. It's definitely come a long way since 1982.

[@johnk8628]

Can you suggest any microfilm printer ?

[@thedigitalimagingchannel]

Hi John, we mention a few in another of our videos here: ruclips.net/video/JjhWWt58D6I/видео.html. You might want to check out scanning your microfiche, depending on your situation (we cover that in the video, too!).

[@johnk8628]

Can we have colored micro films ?

[@thedigitalimagingchannel]

John, you may want to reach out to our team by emailing [e-mail] to chat about your records. It sounds like you have a few questions that they could help with.
