UniSoft Imaging and CASJ, Inc have developed an exclusive process to preserve your old records. We can digitally scan your original books in your office, then using our unique programs; we can convert them to CD, DVD, Microfilm, Microfiche or Printed Books. Your pages can be saved as either grayscale and/or black and white images. Our process will allow you to import your cleaned up images into your current indexing/imaging system. CASJ can perform this process as a complete service, or we will provide the product to you and you can do the scanning, conversion and quality control using your own equipment and personnel.

The standard Photostat conversion process includes scanning documents, converting documents, and quality control and review. When converting Microfilm or Aperture Cards, a microfilm or aperture card scanner can output grayscale images in JPEG format. Then the same conversion and quality control programs used for Photostats can be used to process the images to black and white format.

Photostat Scanning

The CASJ scanning program allows the user to scan documents and review every document as it is scanned. The user can select the following settings:

  1. Document Size in 10th an inch. Documents can vary from 4 to 12 inches in width and up to 24 inches in length.
  2. Grayscale or black and white scanning.
  3. Directory to store all the images. Usually this corresponds to the book type and number.
  4. Resolution: 200, 300, 400, or 600. Usually 300 dpi is good enough.
  5. Simplex or Duplex scanning. This sometimes depends on the scanner.
  6. Automatic Documents Feeder or Flatbed scanning.

CASJ recommends the following scanners for Photostat processing:

  1. Fujitsu 5650C
  2. Fujitsu 5750C
  3. Canon DR-3080
  4. Panasonic 6055W
  5. Panasonic 3055W
  6. Canon DR-6080
  7. Canon DR-9080C

Grayscale to Black/White Tiff Group 4 Conversion

Grayscale conversion uses histograms to sample images and intelligently set the min and max grayscale levels and recommended contrast value. During conversion, edges can be detected and either inverted or removed completely. Images can also have small speckles removed to make images clearer and compressed image sizes smaller.

Image Analysis and Quality Review

All images are checked for image quality, correct page number, and other critical information. Images can be reprocessed completely using different conversion algorithms and parameters. Selected areas can be reprocessed without affecting the rest of the image. Problems can be automatically logged if necessary. This log will make a quick and easy review/rescan list.

Supported Finish Formats

  1. CD or DVD
  2. Microfilm
