Forgive me if this question has been asked and answered, but what’s the story with no mold textured chips? Are they comparable to a Chipco blank without the sharp edges? Are they closer to a brpro blank?

Did you grab a sample set from me? Those are no mold textured, Ice Cardroom.
 
I have not gotten any Tina no molds. I was curious about the Bellagio tribute set in the group buy, but decided to go a different direction. I do enjoy the feel of the Chipco blank, so if they are comparable to that, I might need to see about getting a set the next time we have a group by that interests me.

So I take it that a new conceivable low for this forum would be a Dice Chips tribute on a TinaHC mold

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

You just volunteered yourself. Enjoy
 
I messaged Eloe2000 for the contact information of the manufacturer but he/she hasn't been on the forum for a bit. If anyone has it, can you please send it to me? Thank you.

To be more concise, there is absolutely no way to move directly from a CPC design tool creation to a vector file that Tina requires. You have to hire a designer. However, it doesn’t take a lifelong professional to accomplish this. And there are open source templates available to help those with mild Illustrator experience to do this. Definitely PM @mattross1313

Im late to this thread, but for what it's worth.... Matt Ross did a custom set design for me. It turned out AWESOME! Very easy to work with. Highly recommend @mattross
 
Hey, ive got some questions regarding Tinas Chips. I am currently "trying" to design the Chips myself which is pretty hard since i dont know how AI works.. But Youtube-Tutorials help.

I tried to copy THE MIRAGE and am know playing around with Colors and Edgespots.

1) Are there any Colors that i should NOT use for whatever reason (pls tell the reason)?
2) Can i use any Color from AI or do i have to use one of the posted Colorwheels? Any Colors that you can recommend using because they are looking good compared to other Colors?
3) We already talked about Colorbleeding with white text on black Background, but would THE JACKSONS be safe or is it too small?
4) I will purchase the Card Mold Ceramics from Tina and i want my logo to stop shortly before the circle Mold comes. But i dont know how much cm/mm that is? Ive heard the circle is at 25mm? So how big should my Logo be?
5) To Order from Tina i need the AI-Source File like on the Picture? Or seperated the Chipcolors + Logo + Edgespot Pattern?


These are some Ideas for 10c, $1 and $10. I will use 10c / 50c / $1 / $5 / $10 (/ $20)

I recommend opening the pdf file located in this thread in Adobe Illustrator:
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...phics-useful-for-tina-anita-cards-mold.81302/

It has lots of chip layouts and a PMS color palette that you can get CMYK values from. Definitely make sure you’re designing in CMYK.

You can totally get away with 10¢, $1, $10. They do it in Triton poker all the time.


Put more color on the $1. Spruce it up a bit!

10c/50c/$1/$5/$10 is a must - thats how my Group likes to play. Everytime i try something new some get irritated/frustrated (25c/$1/$5 was 3hrs discussion why i wanted to change the game...)
I can try to add some color to the $1 although i really like this version.

Thanks for the Input!

My order is in with Tina and they are finalizing the chips to ship out on Monday.

There are definitely colors they will NOT print. I wasn’t told about it until after they had already made all of my chips, which was kinda a bummer.

I was told that they have a hard time with shades of teal, between blue and green.

I would definitely start with the color wheel colors, get the cmyk colors, and ask Tina ahead of time if colors in your design will be problematic. I think they like to stick with colors they’ve printed before and not really anything new.

25mm for cards/diamond mold. 25.8mm for no mold.

You will need an Illustrator file with the chip face and rolling edge graphics. You can supply them together or separate. You can dm me if you’d like.

This, quite frankly, is ridiculous.
CMYK printing has been the standard for over a century. True, it's not as versatile as RGB, especially in the blue range, but for their printer not to be able to handle teal or colors between blue and green...and they should be simply avoided...is crazy.
 
MemphisFats said:
Yes they are the ones.
I even asked Tina and she added a 100K chip (this again made me think it was an in-house design). Thanks for being ok with me using your design, it wasn’t my intention to use anyone else’s work.
Thanks
Memphis

Hello, new member here trying to purchase new WSOP card mold set. I've been in contact with some merchanidsers from Alibaba, and they gave me these chip options to work with. Little pricey I initially thought. I've heard so much about Tina, but can't find where to get in touch. Have you purchased WSOP chips from Tina? If so, satisfied? Can you help point me in the direction to get in contact with WSOP chips? Thank you
