Author Topic: Deluxe likes labels! Jay Glaus Expert Film Handler Posts: 123 From: Pittsburgh, PA USA Registered: Dec 2010 posted 03-22-2014 02:23 AM                        I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, or if I'm just lucky, but does it seem like Deluxe has something against removing old labels from their hard drives??? I never (at least that I can remember) have had this problem with Technicolor drives, but it seems like more often than not I'm peeling off what seems like a 1/4 inch thick pile of labels off Deluxe's drives just to get them to fit in the cru port of my GDC's so I'm not jamming them in there so tight that you need everything but a claw hammer to get them back out. I hate peeling the labels off, it's a pet peeve of mine when a drive doesn't have its label stuck to it, but i'm not going to mess up my cru port in the interest of time. Anyone else notice this or does Deluxe just really like me?

I don't remember having to do that with any of their movie drives, though -- just the trailers.  |  IP: Logged Jay Glaus Expert Film Handler Posts: 123 From: Pittsburgh, PA USA Registered: Dec 2010 posted 03-22-2014 02:43 AM                        Yeah Frank, the trailers are usually the worst. I believe it was Divergent that I had to peel them off of tonight.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-23-2014 09:23 PM                     Interesting is that I haven't seen "Trailers by Deluxe" drives for quite the while. We only get the Technicolor ones. Deluxe feature drives is somethings I have to peel them off to get them in the CRU bays.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-23-2014 09:37 PM                        Deluxe called around the end of January and said they were starting an optional "once-a-month" trailer delivery rather than weekly. I said we would be OK with the monthly, but they are still sending us a drive every week.  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 03-25-2014 11:16 AM                     Another sticker-peeler here. Gotta get it in the bay somehow!  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 03-25-2014 07:28 PM                     I'm pretty sure I've posted this before, but Deluxe and Technicolor could sure need one of those at their distribution facilities.  |  IP: Logged Jay Glaus Expert Film Handler Posts: 123 From: Pittsburgh, PA USA Registered: Dec 2010 posted 03-26-2014 12:58 PM                        That's a really cool machine! I never knew you could do that with labels...  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"
