Additional Services

Film Processing
IMR offers a complete 16mm & 35mm processing lab for those customers that have microfilm cameras on-site. As a Kodak ImageGuard lab, IMR is monitored constantly for processing quality, assuring consistent results. We also maintain back-up processors for redundancy, allowing us to offer speedy turnaround at all times. Once the film is processed, our staff of QC technicians inspects each roll, noting density, resolution, and any defects found. If equipment related problems are found, the customer is notified immediately by phone or e-mail, in order to minimize wasted time and materials. IMR can also test submitted film samples for residual thiosulfate ions (often called Methylene-Blue testing) to verify archival stability.

Data Extraction/Forms Processing
Sometimes, a static image is just not adequate for the job at hand. In the instance where the data contained on the form requires analysis or manipulation, it must first be extracted from the document. IMR can scan documents and, using advanced software solutions extract the data from the image and put it into database where it becomes a dynamic tool, helping to make your business more efficient.

Film Creation from Digital Image
After a period of time has passed, digital images lose their immediacy, yet, in many cases must be maintained for regulatory or historical purposes. For long term storage, there is still no medium that can best microfilm. With several Kodak Digital Archive Writers in our production facility, IMR can easily & cost effectively take those digital images and output them to 16mm microfilm, which can then be used for secure long-term storage. When stored properly, microfilm has a life expectancy of 500 years!

FTP Data Transfer
IMR offers secure ftp transfer of images to and from our facility. Images can be sent to IMR for processing, or returned to our customers for upload into a document management system.

Book Creation from Images or Microfilm
Occasionally, information must be stored in books for public access. In such instances, it is not uncommon for these books to become damaged from use. IMR can either microfilm or scan such books, reprint the pages to paper, and rebind them in new covers, extending the life of the information.
