Tape Baking

• Some tapes exhibit "Sticky Shed Syndrome" and need to be "baked".
• You do not need to select this option as we will perform "Tape Baking" only IF STRICTLY NECESSARY in order to get the transfer done.
• If you prefer that we do not perform "Tape Baking", you must provide clear written instructions in the "Additional Information" box of the Checkout page (such as NO TAPE BAKING PLEASE). Placing the order confirms acceptance of our terms and releases us of any liability.
• "Baking" a tape is a process that may weaken the tape or the ferric oxide binding.  Please note that we will NOT ACCEPT to work on a tape that was previously "baked".  If your tape was previously "baked", please DO NOT place the order and DO NOT send the tape to us for processing.

Tape Splices Needed

Recording Fee
