Micrographics is the technique of photographing written or printed pages in a reduced form to produce microfilm or microfiche.
ISO 8127 is an international standard that discusses micrographics. ISO 8127-1 is the first part of a multi-part series that specifies the characteristics of five-channel jackets for 16 mm microfilm.
ISO 8127-1 applies to all microfilm jackets composed of a transparent support sheet and an emulsion sheet bonded together and divided in multiple channels to accommodate single or multi-frame 16 mm or 35 mm microfilm, with a heading area incorporated.
Who is ISO 8127-1 – A6 size microfilm jackets for?
ISO 8127-1 on the A6 size microfilm jackets is relevant to:
- Microfilm equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
Why should you use ISO 8127-1 – A6 size microfilm jackets?
Microfilm jackets are a means of arranging units of information in microfilm form into inter-related groups of units or chapters. This arrangement permits the correction and addition of information without completely refilming the contents. Microfilm jackets are mainly used in active microfilm systems but may serve as enclosures for the storage of strips or single frames of microfilm.
ISO 8127-1 provides you with the physical characteristics of a microfilm jacket that assists in manufacturing efficient, durable and high-quality jackets.
ISO 8127-1 also provides you with the test methods for measuring curl and bow and optical clarity of jacket material that assist in evaluating and enhancing the performance of A6 size microfilm jackets.
