The Document Archive Writer rapidly converts digital documents to an analogue format and media for low-cost, long-term storage and access.

The Archive Writer and supporting software accepts document images from many digital imaging systems in Tagged Image Film Format (TIFF). Users can organise them according to their requirements and write the images to film. Users can operate in a "scan-to-film" mode for immediate creation of film images or purge inactive information from expensive on-line and near-line storage with full assurance that they will be able to retrieve and view it long into the future.

There are two models in the i9600 series - the i9610 which can convert electronic images to microfilm at 85ipm at 24x reduction and 200ipm at 40x reduction AND the i9620 which can convert electronic images to microfilm at 170ipm at 24x reduction and 400ipm at 40x reduction. This gives a storage capacity of 7225 images per roll on the i9610 and 17000 images per roll on the i9620.

SMA16 and SMA51 versus the Kodak Archivewriter - why buy the SMA's?

SMA 51 (and SMA16 with 35mm upgrade)
  • bitonal output
  • grey scale output
  • colour output
  • negative output
  • positive output
  • 16 mm output
  • 35 mm output
  • utilizes standard camera microfilm
  • can handle all common file formats
Kodak Archive Writer
  • ONLY bitonal output
  • NO grey scale output
  • NO colour output
  • ONLY 16 mm output
  • NO 35 mm output
  • NO standard camera microfilm - just special high priced film
  • ONLY TIFF file conversion, NO PDF, JPEG etc
Depending on the configuration the SMA 51 and SMA 16 are a few thousand pounds more to buy than the Kodak Archivewriter. However at an average difference of £6.00 per roll for the film used it can take as little as 500 rolls usage of film for the capital cost difference to be rectified. From that point on the SMA's continue to deliver cost savings, let alone offering the many technical advantages detailed above. We would be happy to go through the figures with you.
