| We begin by using only
the most recent videotapes. If the tape is cosmetically acceptable,
we then run the tape on a RTI Evaluator. This machine not only checks for defects such as edge damage, creases and excessive dropouts but it also cleans the tape and reconditions it. When the tape goes through the evaluator it goes through a series of tissues and burnishing blades, which can actually improve a tape by eliminating dust which causes dropouts or by straightening the tape and eliminating minor physical damage. |
|
| Once
the tape has passed the evaluation processes, it then is cleaned and de-labeled.
If at this point there are any cosmetic imperfections, such as scratches
or stains, the tape is rejected. Each tape is cleaned by one of several
chemicals which has been proven not to show any stains or markings for
that specific tape.
After the tape is de-labeled and cleaned it is degaussed once again. Even though the tape is degaussed during the evaluation process, this is done just as a backup. It is then repackaged back in it's original case and boxed. |
