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???
Darting Chicken
Juan was driving down a country lane in his pickup when suddenly a chicken darted into
the road in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, but realised that the chicken was
speeding off down the road at about 30 miles an hour.
Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn't catch up to the
accelerating chicken. Seeing it turn into a small farm, Juan followed it. To his
astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs.
Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of the chickens had three legs.
The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said,
"Three-legged chickens? That's astonishing!"
The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred 'em that way because I love drumsticks."
Juan was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?"
The farmer smiled. "Dunno. Haven't been able to catch one yet."
