The Crowley Company introduces the MACH Mini Film, a revolutionary new compact production, portable microfilm scanner with the smallest footprint in its class.
The MACH Mini Film harnesses the acclaimed scanning and processing power of Mekel Technology MACH-Series microfilm scanners to provide accurate, fast microfilm capture without the physical space needs of a larger production scanner. The MACH Mini Film portable microfilm scanner is ideal for small-to-mid size service bureaus, archives, government agencies and others with microfilm archives.
Competitive Advantages
