SMA 51 |
|
The SMA 51 is a ground breaking new digital to film writer. It has two excellent features that set it apart from it's rivals:-
- Can write to both 16mm and 35mm microfilm in the one unit.
- Writes to conventional 16mm and 35mm microfilm, the same film that is used in conventional microfilm cameras. This avoids the need for expensive bespoke film and allows the user to choose between different manufacturers of conventional silver microfilm. Both thin (2.5mil) and thick (5mil) film can be used depending on the application and to maximise storage density by using long length thin film.
- The SMA 51 can accept TIFF, JPEG, PDF, DOC and XLS etc digital documents in bitonal, greyscale or colour.
- Original document size can range from postcard (A6) all the way through to A2. Optical resolution on converted images is 300dpi for A4, 200dpi for A3 and 150dpi for A2 size.
- Speed of the SMA 51 is 1-2 seconds per image for black and white, 2-3 seconds per image for grey scale and 3-5 seconds per image for colour.
- Price and system includes operating software which manages the downloaded files. Standard interfaces are used which allow the unit to write the images unattended once transfer has been completed.
- Due to the initial interest in this unit, The Microfilm Shop are currently arranging for interested parties to forward digital images to us by disk and then we are handing back film images for evaluation.
If you are interested in this service please call us on 024 7638 3998 or e-mail us with your requirements so that we can offer you either 35mm or 16mm returned film.
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.
