Imaging services

Image processing is needed by many clients to convert paper-based documents, drawings or records from paper or film to digital or electronic data.
These electronic records are easier to search and retrieve, can be viewed by more than one person at a time, and there is the added benefit of protecting the original copy from everyday use. Metrofile’s range of image processing services include:
