Document Microfilming
Documents are filmed in the most cost-effective manner and on the best equipment for their document type.
Processing
Once microfilming is complete, microfilm rolls are processed, just as film from a traditional camera is processed. Processing is a critical, and often overlooked, step in the filming process. As a Fuji Film Certified Microfilm Laboratory, Reynolds receives third-party testing,
training, and inspections. This ensures you that your film is of the highest, archival quality.
100% Image and Roll Inspection and Certification
Reynolds Inspection and Certification process follows the highest level of inspection recommended by ANSI/AIIM, ensuring the highest level of quality available.
Microfilm Jacketing Services
Microfilm Jackets allow rapid retrieval of your images and allow image interfiling, useful when you have records that will be added to in the future. Our Jacketing Services provide high-quality, indexed, microfilm jackets at economical prices.
Duplication Services
Reynolds Duplication Services provide quality silver and diazo duplicate copies of microfilm and microfiche to serve as backup copies, copies for various locations and departments, and to serve disaster recover purposes.
Return or Certified Destruction of Originals
Once microfilming is complete, your originals can be either returned to you or destroyed via a secure, certified destruction process.
Reynolds Conversion Services Department has been capturing documents for over 47 years. Our staff averages 17+ years of experience. We have the experience to handle both small, simple projects and large, technically complex projects requiring an in-depth knowledge of your files.
Our process begins by reviewing with you important details about how your documents are created and utilized;
-
Who references the documents
-
How frequently are they retrieved
-
How are they categoried at both the folder and document level
-
How long are they retained
-
What are the access/security criteria
-
How are new documents added
-
What are your regulatory requirements
-
Will documents need to be accessed during the process
These and dozens of other criteria form the basis of our specifications for each project.
From this point forward we make the process simple. Once we have established the project specifications and submitted samples for evaluation, our staff takes over and your time can be spent fulfilling your duties, not managing a microfilming project.
Regardless of your industry, our staff has extensive experience with a wide array of organizational document types; higher education, banking, government, utilities, service providers, manufacturers, healthcare, and many others.
Efficient, high quality microfilming projects that will conform to regulatory and industry standards don't need to consume your valuable internal resources. Let your staff focus on your core business, let our staff effectively manage your microfilming projects.
