Thanks for prepping the test files, Indy!
Is there any way to get a closer match to the pattern on the tape used on the screen-seen folders?
It appears, from the many screenshots uploaded by DB537, that at least two different types of tape were used.
Of those two types, the majority of the files were made with a tape that has what looks like a checkerboard or grid pattern:
The checkerboard or grid pattern above reminds me of something you might find on a prop from
Star Trek, which, like
Mission: Impossible!, was in production at Desilu and then Paramount.
The other type of tape represented in the screenshots looks as if it has a pattern of vertical lines or ridges running parallel to the long side of the file:
The checkerboard pattern, in particular, is to me distinctively associated with these dossier folders.
While the test folders you've made look good -- especially with Willy's and Barney's dossiers in them! -- they lack the desirable grid pattern of the tape seen most often on the dossiers.
Is there any chance of finding -- or making -- a tape that reproduces that distinctive pattern?
