Cards Mold/"Tina" Alibaba Ceramics Master Consolidated Info Thread (7 Viewers)

Yes, I agree. I have been in touch with Tina with some design ideas, but I thought it would be easier to do this with someone who has done it before.
Find a Euro forum member that's order before maybe?
We can walk you through it if you need overall assistance or got questions.
 
When I ran the first big Aria's cards mold GB, I sent a couple of boxes to Europe. What are you wanting to know? Weights and shipping costs?
It's the shipping costs that is my concern. If it is as expensive as buying from a regular US shop, I should probably get it shipped directly as suggested above.

I would agree, especially if you are planning a big order. I think around 2000 chips is the point where it makes a lot of sense. Less than that and you are mostly paying for the convenience of getting your chips faster.
 
Thought I would post this here just in case anyone interested has not seen the big reveal of the new Web Mold Hybrids from Tina.

Those are slicker than eel shit. I love my cards mold chips but geez these are going to make me buy another set of Tinas. Edges look sharp too. And the textured faces…literally game over for custom chips. Awesome!!
 
Did any casinos ever use the web mold? I would assume so.
I think so. I know we hashed out several other molds in a previous thread. There was another mold someone wanted, I forget now which one, but David Spragg still owns the rights to it even thought he'll never use it because the cups are too worn out. But he put up a bit of resistance, so we ended up settling on Web mold.

There's a pic of an old web mold chip in post #1. It looks like it's probably an old casino chip.
 
43mm cards mold Mangos have landed. Photos shoot to follow. So good. I went with a full size inlay for increased readability for larger events with newbie or unfamiliar players and I was nervous but these are even better than my cash set. Thanks @SeanGecko for doing this and dealing with the hiccups. These are the best yet!

39mm Crds Mold: 39.2mm 9.5gram (barrel height 65.6mm)

43mm Cards Mold: 42.8mm 11.4gram (barrel height 65.6mm)

I really like the colour scheme and design of this especially the bigger chip. Any idea if this design is publicly available?
 
Sorry new here and my English is not good! For that I mean available to the public (and not private only), and also for a price of course. Not sure how that works here, please pardon my ignorance if I offended anyone!
No worries, you haven't offended anyone. Sean is just messing with you.

That design belongs to @Eloe2000 so he would need to give you permission to use it. Maybe he will see these posts and respond, since you can't send a PM until you have a few more posts.
 
Are all of the molds similar to the card molds? I just received an order of empire chips from Apache and the chips tend to slide around alot when stacked. Would a different mold help with that as I like the color and design.
 
I would like to order a set of chips from Tina with my existing artwork from J5. I don't know what the minimum is, but I'm willing to buy enough to satisfy it (whether it be 500, or 1000, etc).

I want to supplement my existing set, and I don't mind if a lot are just put away in storage (since I prefer matte edges than shiny edges that BRPoker offers).

What's the best way to contact her directly? I believe I found the Alibaba link or Whatsapp number, but I don't want to go through a possible scammer.

I have this exact question. Can someone please post a link to her Alibaba store?
 
Not sure if done before, but trying to predict Tina printer error for chips. Took the images of the digital color wheels in the threads as well as the actual printed versions.. put side by side.. top is digital, bottom is output.. from past pages in thread.

Then reduced size (get average color vs grain) and recorded CMYK values for digital (input) vs actual (output) - Link to file below for reference:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...ouid=112612925856116927892&rtpof=true&sd=true

Then did a regression analysis against all to get a predictor equation for each CMYK value (C, M, Y, K tabs - did not go through p-value exclusion loop, e.g. omit >.15 values and rerun):

That resulted in an overall color prediction:

Bottom line... on average predictor equation from regression would forecast the true CMYK output 10 total points (C+Y+M+K) closer than the input CMYK value... but feel like there is opportunity to do a polynomial/differential look to go further because some of the correlations don't appear linear... e.g. magenta:

Magenta digital vs magenta actual, across just pink/purple chips (highest magenta):

Edit: I like this example because it also clearly shows magenta over-indexes in actual printing.. have seen a few times in chips before.

Any thoughts? I'm trying to think through a way to run a better statistical analysis (non-linear, multivariable) to get a predictor equation without doing too much manual creation of color plots/fitting.

If we can well correlate... my thoughts are we should be able to get good faux inlay results... assuming Tina's "error" for each color is somewhat consistent, but may need a similar analysis also done on the inlay printing as well (assuming separate printer for stickers/inlays vs chips).
