'LAST'
Magnetic Tape Care
The sounds and images of the world are preserved on magnetic
tape. They can be kept alive only as long as the tape lasts.
Few people know that magnetic tape can start to loose data
within 8 years and become totally unreadable within 20 years.
Yet, magnetic tape has been entrusted to preserve a precious
commodity - our cultural heritage. Video tapes of historic events,
master tapes of original music performances, home videos of family
memories, and tapes of valuable business data are quietly deteriorating
in drawers and cabinets all over the world - soon to be lost forever,
leaving only the tape backing and a pile of magnetic dust behind.
Fortunately, this cultural heritage can be saved and preserved
indefinitely with proper care and treatment with LAST Tape Preservative.
