Archive writers or digital to microfilm conversion is a practice that has been around for many years. It is used to produce a microfilm version of the information, for the intention of storing the microfilm for long term safety of the information.

A digital to Microfilm conversion creates fiche cards or roll film. Some data type information can be transfered to film with a COM or computer output to microfilm process. This type of data is reduced to make very miniature frames. The reduction can be from 28 to 48 times the original size. Step and Repeat is also used to covert digital to microfilm . The difference is that COM uses data to make frames and step and repeat can contain other types of documents. Once the digital to microfilm conversion is completed, the information on the microfilm can only be read if viewed through a microfilm viewer because the data is to miniature to be seen with the naked eye.

Digital files are created by scanning documents that can be of many different sizes. A digital image can be created by scanning 36" by 48"drawings. When larges drawing are scanned, the resulting digital images are also very large compared to letter size documents. The best microfilm to use when transferring large digital images is 35mm microfilm. The larger size film works better for larger digital images because in the digital to microfilm conversion, the files maintain better quality. As a rule, too large of a reduction affects the quality of the files.
