  • Tapes by this company had the white screen test pattern with a 1000hz tone at the end. On some copies of Nintendo 64: Change the System, City of Angels, Wrongfully Accused and The Avengers, it was followed by the static roll of death.
  • 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, the printings became similar to Technicolor's print dates.
  • Until late 1999, tapes by this duplicator also had the BHCP codes like the ones used by Deluxe from 1987 to 1996.
