Example text to state when editing a release (these are regulars in runouts)

Added Lacquer Cut By (or) Plated By [Eddy Gorecki] = [EG], as visible on variant nnn

MPO logo specific (use text in notes like below, and note that the ® doesn't always appear)
The runout info is hand etched apart from the MPO logo (and stamper numbers that follow it) which are laser etched
Use the format "[MPO logo]® NN ######" where the NN is the stamper year and also add Pressed By MPO into LCCN

Info to add to notes when ▽ 420 ? is in a runout (there are lots, so be accurate - below uses P as an example)
▽ 420 P ---> "▽ 420" = Pressed By, PRS Ltd. and "P" = Lacquer Cut At, PRT Studios
