The e-Beam Film is ideal for specialty applications that requires superior quality archival microfilm.

Why Preserve Important Records and Documents with Low Quality?

Why should you, your business, your library, or your country settle for lower image quality when preserving important documents and historical records for future generations when you can have the highest quality imagery on a cost effective basis with fast turnaround?

Send your digital data over the internet or on CDs or other media to IGI and we will convert it to superior quality e-Beam Film.  Archivists, historians, and librarians throughout the world recognize e-Beam Film for digital preservation.

Why e-Beam Film is Best!

bulletSuperior Quality - to 600 DPI and Higher. Only IGI can record microfilm at 300, 400, 600 and higher dots per inch (dpi).  Other technologies struggle to reach 240 DPI at best.  Higher resolution makes e-Beam film clearer and easier to read and scan back to digital data in the future.
bulletGray-Scale Option. Until now, archivists had to settle for bitonal images, even for photographs. The IGRC is the world's only service bureau that can take digital gray scale images and record them in Gray-Scale - either as a half-tone image or a continuous tone image with photographic quality.
bulletAnnotated Film.  IGI provides all points addressable annotations that include blip marks, file names, field index information, bar codes, special symbols, and logos.  If you can provide us the data, we can figure out how to record it on film.
bulletAny Format (including 35mm), Any Reduction Ratio. IGI's flexible technology can record directly onto silver halide archival quality 16mm, 35mm, 70mm and 105mm roll film.  Moreover, we support all ANSI.AIIM Standards and reduction ratios, as well as special or non-standard reduction ratios. 
bullet500 year certification. Our microfilm will last for hundreds of years, making it compliant with any government archiving requirements.  And because we are a certified Kodak Document Conversion Center, your e-Beam Film will be certified and backed up by Kodak materials and processes.

Industries Using e-Beam Film

Over the past ten years we have sold e-Beam Film to users across a wide range of industries.  Here are a few.

Rare Books and Manuscripts

Many of the nation's leading libraries and archivists have chosen e-Beam Film to save high quality images of critical records.  We have recorded images of many rare books and manuscripts, by authors ranging from Isaac Newton to Walt Whitman.  In fact, a team at Cornell University recommended Image Graphics as the best option for archiving rare books and manuscripts.  You can view the Cornell White Paper  on why they chose Image Graphics, as well as the Cornell Final Report on their project.

Government records at all levels

We have archived documents for local, county, state, and federal government agencies across the United States.   These have ranged from county land use, supreme court, circuit court, and other vital records in Virginia, Washington, New York, Oregon, Florida, and other states to legal records for state agencies in Connecticut to critical data for the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. We have even microfilmed finger prints and identification photos to archive police and personnel records.

Engineering Drawings and Technical Manuals

We regularly record complicated imagery for high technology companies looking to archive engineering drawings and technical manuals.  No matter how detailed, our electron beam recorders can capture and preserve all the important data.  Our recorders have recorded everything from circuit board diagrams to construction and engineering drawings for commercial buildings, bridges, and nuclear power plants.

We continue to expand our services to financial services company.  From mortgage records to insurance policies to bank statements, IGI converts digital data documents into eye readable imagery to back up critical documents.
