AMS and the Kodak Digital Archive Writer
AMS has just taken delivery of a New Kodak Digital Archive Writer model 4800.
The KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Document
Archive Writer, Model 4800 rapidly converts digital documents to an analog format and
media for low-cost, long-term storage, disaster recovery and access.
The Document Archive Writer and supporting software accepts document images from many
digital imaging systems in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF). You can organize them
according to your requirements, create an index, and write the images to film. Now you can
purge inactive information from expensive on-line and near-line storage with full
assurance that you’ll be able to retrieve and view it long into the future.
The Document Archive Writer accepts TIFF digital document images and converts them to
analog images on 16 mm silver halide-based film in excess of 100 A-4 images per minute at
40:1 reduction. Up to 18,000 A4-size images at 40:1 reduction will fit on a single roll of
film for storage that’s extremely compact
Key Features
- accepts bi-tonal TIFF image files; uncompressed or Group III or IV compressed to support
flexible input
- accepts image resolutions from 100 to 600 dpi
- adds image-mark coding to film to support rapid, automated retrieval
- writes in simplex or duplex (front/back) formats
- writes to one or two rolls of film for optional backup and security

Funny bit???
A man took his old duck to the Doctor, concerned because the duck wouldn't eat.
The Doctor explained to the man that as ducks age their upper bills grow down over
their lower bills and make it difficult for the animal to pick up it's food.
"What you need to do is gently file the upper bill down even with the lower bill.
But you must be extra careful because the duck's nostrils are located in the upper bill
and if you file down too far, when the duck takes a drink of water it'll drown."
The man goes about his business and about a week later the Doctor runs into his
patient.
"Well, how is that duck of yours?" the Doctor inquires.
"He's dead." declared the heartbroken man.
"I told you not to file his upper bill down too far! He took a drink of water and
drowned didn't he?" insisted the Doctor.
"No." lamented the man. "I think he was dead before I took him out of
the vise."
