We can scan in black and white, color, or gray scale. We can scan paper as small as a business card and as large as blueprint drawings 42 inches wide. We can also scan 16 mm and 35 mm microfilm and aperture cards.

Our Story
Merging of Automatic Imaging & Automatic Microfilm with MDK Recycling, LLC
In 1977 David and Sally Urbaniak ran out of storage space for their records related to their restaurant, Sal's 5th Ave in Michigan Center, MI. With a roll of dimes and his father, Dave went to Detroit, pulled out a phone book at a pay phone, and started calling around to buy a camera to microfilm those records. He found a camera and, in a closet under a staircase, with his mother as the first camera operator, Automatic Microfilm was created. Years later with the advent of the computer, Automatic Imaging was established alongside Automatic Microfilm. Over the years, so many customers became like family. With any family, there are times to celebrate and times to mourn. We mourned the loss of Sally in 2015 and David in 2019. Our employees carried the businesses forward during this time.
To continue moving forward in 2020, we have merged Automatic Imaging and Automatic Microfilm with MDK Recycling. David worked with Brian Miotke, owner of MDK Recycling, and appreciated his passion and business ingenuity. It is thus with great pleasure that we announce the merger of these businesses.
