When our print of Hidalgo was ran for the first time one of our guys noticed that there were two Home on the Range trailers back to back. Of course since I was the one blaimed I decided to look into it. Upon further inspection I found that the splice attaching the two was not one of ours. So the lab attached two of treh same trailers. Has this happened to anyone else?

If the trailor was spliced on it was probably done at the exchange not te lab as most labs would have just printed the trailor right on to the reel not attach it later

I received two used prints of hidalgo, did your reels have "INTEGRITY CHECKED" printed on the white paper bands?

As mentioned, labs usually print any attached trailer as part of the printing negative for reel 1, so there normally would not be a splice in the print. Labs can add trailers in "positive assembly" after processing, but usually this would be done at the exchange or a separate fulfillment company, who usually have a lower price structure than a lab.
