EG: Jan Crittenden from Panasonic USA has previously stated elsewhere, that Sony and Panasonic use different lubricants for their tape formulations. She said it's the interaction of the residual lubricants when you mix tapes that causes gunk in tape path. At Panasonic they always carefully clean their decks anytime they have to use a different tape brand other than the brand the deck or camera had been using. I've asked Panasonic here about their cleaner 'dry type' labelling, see what they say. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._Cleaning.html Cheers.

Hi Allan. Did you provide the correct link?
Panasonic | AY-DVMCLA Mini DV Cleaning Cassette | AYDVMCLA | B&H This one isn't related to any question from you to Panasonic, nor to any reply from them. And there is also no mention of lubricants, just the fact that it is a dry type of cleaner, as mentioned by Bill Busby. Richard |

Hi Richard, I haven't heard from Panasonic yet, they get very busy at Xmas.
Sorry for the confusion, yes that's the correct link showing the 'dry type' packaging I have on my cleaner tapes. Cheers.

Hi Allan. OK, I get it now, thanks.
My interpretation of the wording on the cleaner tape is just that it does not use a liquid solvent for head cleaning, like the tapes mentioned by Bill. But let's see if Panasonic reply with anything definite. Richard |

Richard and Bill, you are quite correct in your assumptions, the 'dry type' cleaner tape labelling has nothing to do with the actual type of DV recording tape lubrication.
Here's the Panasonic reply... 'The DRY TYPE indication on the Tape Packaging would indicate the Head cleaner does not require a Liquid Cleaning Chemical.' Cheers.

The Sony tapes use a silicone to lube the tape which is a wet lube. And the Panasonic tapes use a graphite which is a dry lube. I film in cold weather a lot and switched to the Panasonic AY-DVM63PQ tapes and use a Panasonic cleaning tape it has solved a lot of my cold weather problems. And there cheaper than Sony tapes through B&H.
