Aperture Card Scanning

IDSL's Aperture Card scanning service offers customers the finest in image quality taken from Microfilm.

The Aperture Card is a customary Hollerith encoded card transported for a 35mm transparency.

The feature is used to store items such as drawing, maps, engineering and spare parts listings.

Images stored in aperture cards are scanned on high-speed automated Photo Matrix equipment, reaching a maximum of 600dpi resolution.

IDSL may have a consultation with clients, analysing and assessing the archive of an aperture card. Leading to the creation of a scanning solution tailored to meet the individual needs of a project.

When the aperture card has gone through the scanning process, it can be indexed by:

• Issue Number
• Drawing Number / Part Number / Date
• Client Name
• Drawing Description
• Storage Media

The scanned/indexed aperture card is stored onto CD’s/DVD’s/Portable Hard Drives. It is also transferred directly to a personal network for shared access.
