News for Microfilm targeteers....



 NOT meant to be a commercial!

Available now from A&P are specialty microfilm test targets on a resin coat
(RC) material called 'HQ'.  These field-tested, High Quality photo targets
yield a reported two-higher 'line pair' reading when microfilmed!

Many photo material manufacturers have quit making resin coated paper,
narrowing the availability of substrates that will give microfilmers the
quality they demand. 'HQ' material has the desired reflectivity, gloss and
brightness to produce sharper line definition and higher 'line pair'
readings.

Member A&P is working with AIIM's C-10 Quality Committee to resolve the
quality issue as it relates to microfilm reproduction of targets .
Unsatisfactory 'line pair' fall-off occurs.  Reflectivity, gloss,
brightness and exposure are pinpointed as contributing to the the problem.

Tests of available substrates are underway and the topic is high on the
C-10 agenda at the upcoming AIIM Show.  Results won't  be available
immediately.  Some test material is coated film, like defunct Cronopaque.
The Committee's aim is to redefine standards for target materials and their
microfilming.

In the meantime A&P sees newly available 'HQ' substrate as a 'bird in the
hand' for perfectionists in the microfilm community!
