What is Microfilm?
Microfilm can provide business owners with the ability to record-keep sans paper documentation. Microfilm stores photographs or records in a small film format. A roll of microfilm is incredibly compact and enables individuals to store a mass amount of information in a small format, which relieves your business of paper record keeping. You can eliminate original hard copies when you’ve converted your necessary hard copy documents to microfilm. Microfilm can store up to 2,500 images on a simplex microfilm roll.
What is Microfiche?
Microfiche is similar to microfilm but contains fewer images in comparison to microfilm. Microfiche can usually contain about 60 shots compared to microfilm, which can hold around 2500 on a simplex microfilm roll. The difference between microfilm and microfiche? Microfiche allows individuals to place pertinent information on a title strip. This allows anyone who is accessing the microfiche to understand what title correlates to each image, which provides clarity to whoever is accessing the microfiche.
Should I Choose Microfilm or Microfiche?
Choosing microfilm or microfiche comes down to what you feel as though is personally best for your business. Do you need to store a lot of necessary information at a low price? If so, microfilm might be a better option to consider. Do you need to hold a select amount of information and ensure that it is labeled for clarity? Consider microfiche as an acceptable option.
