RE: [T3] Microfiche scanning?


Hi Karl,

I used to do film to image scanning for a living - there is equipment out  
there, but it's very specialized and there are a number of requirements for
a good scan.

I'll tell you that your best (and probably cheapest) bet is to take the fiche  
to a microfilm service bureau, have them make prints using a microfilm reader-
printer, and then scan the prints using a desk-top scanner.

Subject: [T3] Microfiche scanning?

Hi all!
I wonder if anyone know if it's possible to scan a microfiche card and get a
readable result on a computer screen? (I guess there are special photo
equipment involved - the resolution on an average scanner is probably not
high enough, but what do I know...)
I have got permission to borrow the type 3 microfiche card from my local VW
dealer, and I would like to copy its contents into my computer.
Any hints? Who's the photo/scanning expert here?
