Will you please post this question to the listserve.


I have a microfilm question so I thought I would come to the experts for advice.  Our IT Department has given me a multi-page tiff image file containing data from a Unisys database which they would like to write to microfilm.  I ran a test of the file to ensure the images were visible on the film.  Once the film was processed the images/borders on the film are white however, the text is not visible.  I am wondering if anyone might know why this is and what I could do to resolve the issue.  

I have been able to determine the text is renderable so I have manipulated the file by trying several things; make it darker, converting it to a pdf, changing the document to have a higher resolution, converting the document to a pdf and saving to single page tiff images then combining the tiffs to a pdf and running OCR.  One option that did work is to invert the images however, this only worked on 35mm microfilm and we would like to get the images on 16mm microfilm as we obviously can get more images on the roll.

Any and all assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
