Safeguarding data digitally in the face of continuous technological progress requires even more effort and expense, according to Ilford.
Analogue safeguarding is one way to avoid such high archiving costs, it added.
The archival system is based on an RGB laser exposure, a colour microfilm that records up to 300 lines per millimetre and the over 500-year durability of micrographic film featuring Azo colour dyes and a polyester base.
The system also embodies what is claimed to be an economic process for copying originals on to micrographic film, whilst featuring easy readability, or re-digitalisation of the colour micrographic film.
