How to Tell[edit]
- The earliest tapes had "PREM" engraved on the back of the tape shell. There was also a white stamping on the back as well.
- Tapes printed in EP/SLP during the early '90s would have a red tape guard. At this time, inked-label tapes would have the label text colored yellow. In addition, on tapes released by Turner Home Entertainment, there is an abbreviation engraving on the left side.
- Tapes printed in the mid-to-late 80's would have dark printings on the left side of the tape like these for example:
013868 T-130
- Tapes printed in the late '80s to mid '90s had engravings on the left side of the tape like these for example:
295422
120_29
- Some tapes had the engravings like this:
PAR
_48_
- Others had the engravings on the tape guard and like this:
064689
165OHV
- Tapes printed from the mid '90s and onwards would have a bunch of numbers, including a side label number, engraved on the left side of the tape.
- Tapes printed for RVSA customers had the information etched onto one side of the cassette shell like this, for example:
- MCA-423-22837
- Some tapes simply had the RVSA initialism (e.g. RVS) etched onto the side.
- Tapes printed during the last few years of this duplicator's existence would additionally have an inked barcode with a whole lot of numbers (including the tape's catalog number or some elements of the title on some tapes), printed on the tape guard.
- Starting around the early 90's, some tapes (mainly EP/SLP tapes) had a set of eight numbers in the vertical blanking interval, usually with a clock next to it. These tapes had a few additional seconds of black screen following the blank space at the very end. On some SP mode tapes from 2000-2001 with these credentials in the vertical blanking interval, the static roll of death appeared following the blank space at the very end, while it appeared before the blank space on several other tapes. Some early tapes with these credentials do not have any form of printing on the cassette, but starting a few years later, some tapes with the normal printings of the time had these credentials (mainly EP/SLP mode tapes, although this sometimes happened on SP mode tapes as well).
- One known copy of Terminator 2: Judgment Day by this duplicator said RVSA\PVI in the vertical blanking interval.
