E-MAIL: Joan Hanicak, joan.hanicak@uspto.gov. This amendment is issued to provide answers/comments to additional questions received for Solicitation 52-PAPT-9-01022. The questions and answer is numbered in sequence, as follows: QUESTION 21: I am still unclear on the specification of the printed tray liner for the jewel case. Will the content printed on the tray liner be identical for all "masters" or will each "master's" tray liner be unique? Will the PTO supply art work for the tray liner(s) and each "master". Note: I use the word master in quotes because the word "master" has an entirely different meaning in the replication industry. You would be better served to refer to each disc as a "title". Also confusing in the single DLT per title as each title requires two DLTs. ANSWER 21: The main body of the tray liner will be the same for all titles (what shows on the back of the jewel case), but the two upturned edges of the tray liner (readable from the edges of the jewel case) will have information specific to each title. The successful contractor will print in four-color process the main part of the tray liner for all discs (400 masters x 500 replicates = 200,000 tray liners) and then add the unique information for each title on the edges in spot color (500 tray liners each). Tray liners will be printed on one side only. The disc labels will differ from title to title only in one line of text which provides the unique identifier (same as on the edge of the tray liner). PTO will provide artwork for the disc label and for the tray liner in Corel Draw 9 format on DOS formatted zip discs. The contractor will be expected to modify art work for each title with the unique identifiers. The answer to your "note" above has been previously addressed in the Answer to Question 8. All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged. Posted 09/03/99 (D-SN376590). (0246)
