Note on black & thin white lines/letters on black:

My latest conversation with Tina indicated they have a hard time printing with black, particularly thin white letters on black. The black “swallows” the white, so their designers have been thickening all thin white letters so they print clearly.

Something to keep in mind when designing.

Relevant conversation below:

This also contributes to why they want to keep using older files.

Note on sending designs:

I’ve seen this mentioned in side conversations, but to reiterate-

• If you send them a new file, they’ll get it right.
• If you use an existing design, so long as you identify the correct one, you should be fine.
• If you submit a new design, please carefully work with them to identify what changed and ask for samples.

Conversely, she just asked to thin down some tight bold black text on another design.

So I have missed a few group buys over the last 8-10 months. I am definitely interested in a set of the cards mold. Who can I contact about another group buy? Does anyone in this thread know. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

You want to run one or you want to join one? If the former you can pm me and I can give you details but the basics are also in the OP of this thread.

Great thread. After holding the starlight 500s jeep did I think these are awesome. I plan on a massive custom set soon. Life is too short.

 

[MD Mike]

I won’t be able to resist another GB. Bring it on

They look Hot

Uh oh… new wrinkle to get everyone even more excited.

Tina just emailed me to give me an interesting heads up. If you order 50,000 chips on a custom mold, the mold is free (usually $2,300 fee) or they will rebate it back to you if you reach the quantity in aggregate across several orders.

Who's in for a slightly recessed/concave center/inlay to reduce the spinners!?

Hybrid mold

SCROWN??? With a recessed center for labels?

 

[Eloe2000]

The problem is that with any recess it will impact the printing capabilities/quality.

Someone is currently working on a custom hybrid mold. Their existing hybrid mold is a bit too shallow and created spinners.

Return of the cigar and snifter mold.

SOMEONE (cough BG cough) SHOULD HURRY THE HELL UP

 

[Forty4]

That might cause issues. We can make it a glencairn.

Is Roman Mold possible?

Or Americanize it to a Coke and fries.

Also Tina is taking 43mm cards mold orders now.

 

[Teggy]

Also Tina is taking 43mm cards mold orders now.

Just 43mm not 39mm??

 

[Eloe2000]

Both. We were just waiting on the 43mm to be available for purchase and they are now.

 

[BillyBluff]

I wonder whether there will be more spinners with the 43mm. I will wait for the first reviews to come in before considering an order. Exciting, nonetheless!

Pricing?

 

[Eloe2000]

Pricing?

I posted the price somewhere in this thread. I don't remember and don't have the time to find it now or check my emails. But IIRC its maybe like two cents more than 39mm.
