Press Release Summary: Ristech Offers State of the Art Microfiche Scanning Tools,
making it easier than ever to preserve special documents and microfilm.

Press Release Body:
Toronto, Ontario, June 02, 2008 -- Microfilm may be ancient history in today\'s
world, but many people need a solution for preserving existing microfilm content.
Ristech, a company specializing in providing tools for microfilm and microfiche
scanning, announced this week that they are releasing several new tools that make it
easy to scan and preserve such content.

Thanks to Ristech's innovations, The Library and Archives Canada was able to convert
images at a rate of 0.5 seconds per image, with virtually no effort. Their
microfiche scanner makes it easy to convert entire stacks of film at one time and
little intervention is needed on the part of the operator. In addition to their
microfiche scanning utilities, the company also provides microfilm scanning and book
scanning. The company has also worked closely with the Department of Defense in the
United States as well as other top companies.

As more companies strive to preserve their important documents, it has become vital
to utilize microfilm scanning to ensure that records and archives hold up to the
test of time. Their special microfilm scanner completely automates the process,
allowing companies to easily covert all of their existing media into digital
formats. For publishing companies and archival institutions, the Ristech book
scanner has made what was once an arduous task into a very easy and quick one.

\"Providing relevant content is a major challenge in today's website marketing
programs\" say Robb Richardson, CEO and founder of Ristech Company \"by providing
automated digitization solutions combined with accurate search tools, Ristech is a
major contributor to the preservation & use of information currently housed on
microfiche, microfilm and books.\" continues Richardson.

Digitization Technologies. Founded in 1995 Ristech sells and supports the
technologies required to convert books, film and paper to digital images. Ristech
