However, on some tapes, such as N64: Change the System, Against a Crooked Sky, A Girl of the Limberlost, and The Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room, as well as some Diamond Entertainment Corporation tapes, the printings just said the title. On VideoVisa tapes where this happens, the VideoVisa catalog number appears to the left.
- Tapes by this company (until 1999 for USA tapes) had the white screen test pattern with a 1000hz tone at the end. On some copies of N64: Change the System, City of Angels, Wrongfully Accused, and The Avengers, it was followed by the static roll of death. However, on copies of N64: Change the System by this company, the white screen test pattern at the end had a 1010hz tone.
- On copies of City of Angels, Wrongfully Accused, The Avengers, and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me duplicated by this company, there is a notation printed underneath the label that says "MADE IN MEXICO." On a few other tapes, it was printed on the side of the tape.
- Starting around mid-1999, when the duplicator was fully acquired by Technicolor, the printings became similar to those of the latter.
- Until late 1999, shortly after its acquisition by Technicolor, tapes by this duplicator also had the BHCP codes in the vertical blanking interval like the ones used by Deluxe from 1987 to 1996.
- Several tapes printed in Mexico also had a silent white screen at the beginning.
