How to Tell

Tapes by this duplicator until mid-1999 had white, dark or yellow printings like this for example:

Example 1:

T-047 107K519 12 2974

THE BERENSTAIN BEARS

Example 2:

116 20000050906 90 4414

SO1 CITY OF ANGELS

Example 3:

092 292S8001S 06 6052

C26 WRONGFULLY ACCUSED

Example 4:

100 292S8003-S 04 1974

D26 T H E A V E N G E R S

However, on some tapes, such as N64: Change the System, Against a Crooked Sky, and A Girl of the Limberlost, The Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room, Plus 3 More Berenstain Bears Stories, the printings just said the title.

Tapes by this company 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, as well as tapes from Goldstar Video, it was followed by the static roll of death.
On copies of City of Angels, Wrongfully Accused, The Avengers, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, and tapes from Goldstar Video 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 like the ones used by Deluxe from 1987 to 1996.
Several tapes printed in Mexico also had a silent white screen at the beginning.
