ANSI AIIM TR9:2000 pdf download.Color Microforms.
This technical report discusses equipment, supplies, suggested practices, and the special considerations regarding the production of all types of full-color microforms. The subjects covered include the various color microfilm categories, the characteristics of each, and the physical and performance characteristics of film types suitable for color micrographics.
Other subjects covered include exposure data, density and color balancing techniques, and system preferences for recording color input materials, including optics, format design and reduction ratio.
Discussions regarding processing, quality, duplication processes, and preservation include the recommended chromogenic and nonchromogenic processes; the mechanical, chemical, and environmental requirements; color image reproduction; test charts and scales; resolution; use of protective overcoats; contrast; reprographics: and storage, handling, and packaging recommendations.
Subsequent discussions provide information concerning technical specifications and recommended processes for films typically used for micrographic applications, dye stability characteristics, current formats, and use of color microforms. This technical report is intended to be a descriptive and subjective treatise on full-color micrographics technologies and techniques.
Hazard I Warning: Some of the chemicals described for use in this technical report are toxic or otherwise hazardous. Specific caution, warning and danger notices are given in the text, but, in addition, the normal precautions required for the use of a volatile, flammable, toxic, or corrosive chemical must be exercised at all times. It is recommended that anyone using these chemicals obtain from the manufacturer pertinent information about the hazards, handling, and use of these chemicals. Such information is usually furnished by the chemical manufacturer in the form of a Material Safety Data Sheet (OSHA Form 20 or equivalent).
