In fact, Kodak itself approved of the design registering our facility as a true Kodak Certified Production Facility.
The AmCad Technology Center houses a state-of-the-art Kodak Certified Micrographics Lab. This lab was designed using Kodak specifications. AmCad’s certified Kodak lab houses three Kodak Archive Writers, two M-30 Allen Deep Tank processors, Kodak specified dark room and a separate room for Diazo duplication processes. All processes from start to finish are completed within our facility, providing for exceptional security and quality control.
AmCad administers an extensive quality assurance program independently approved by Kodak. Each roll of microfilm is inspected for foreign objects, overlapping, overexposure, out of sequence documents, missing, blurry, cut off, fogged documents and for scratches on the microfilm. If splicing is necessary, a sonic (polyester) weld splicing device is used. Density readings are taken on each roll in accordance with ANSI/AIIM standards and recorded in a log book. When microfilm is transported, a copy of the logbook accompanies each shipment.
To maintain certification requirements, AmCad holds regular on-site training sessions with the Kodak’s Technical Advisory Team. All employees in our lab have passed credited Kodak Reliable Image Training classes which cover the following:
- Chemical Quality
- Chemical Temperatures
- Processing Speed
- Methylene-blue Analysis
- Film Density
- Scratch Test
- Reference Archive Processing Procedures
