Some tapes from the early 90's had a set of seven numbers printed in white on the side of the tape (e.g. 3196053).
A few early Feature Films for Families tapes from this duplicator instead had a set of five or six numbers in dark red ink (e.g. 109197 or 25129), sometimes on the bottom spine.
Sometimes, the string of white numbers was longer (e.g. 31 61024943017).
Some of the last tapes to use printings like the above had them in white on the bottom middle side (e.g. OVP3325 or OVP3326).
Some tapes from this duplicator had the static roll of death at the end.
Some copies of Against a Crooked Sky, In Your Wildest Dreams, and The Little Fox, as well as some Simitar Entertainment tapes duplicated here said "OVP" on the face label.
Later tapes, beginning sometime in late 1994, had white printings like the following examples:

Example 1:

CALL WILD PT. #8106669 08/10 OVP

Example 2:

DIABOLIQUE #4128 5/96 OVP

Example 3:

OV 8100167 G TRAV.10/19/94

Some other tapes, however, such as some copies of Scamper the Penguin, did not have any form of printing on the cassette.
Tapes duplicated here do not have anything in the vertical blanking interval.

An example of what the printings on most tapes from this duplicator looked like.
On some tapes, the printings were in a different font, on the left side of the tape.
Two tapes are shown in this example, which were part of a two tape set.
