Just looking at the ceramic plaques on the CPC site and the pictures appear to show a glossy, marbled or mother-of-pearl type of look. Is that an accurate description? Thanks!

They are the same finish as any dye-sub chip. It is just the graphics that give them that look.

 

[BNM]

Thanks, David. Now, to do a bit of research on dye-sub...

Ill be making my decision tomorrow on the artwork.. So John should have them to you by Tuesday. sorry for the delay

thanks, BG. weird - on my ipad the link goes to a card player thread, but on my laptop the link goes to the 828 chip.

@atomik, ASM/CPC chips really don't wear onto one another. i've seen this plenty in paulsons, but not once on an ASM/CPC.

I have a few pieces that I use to shuffle ... they almost erased so that the contact insets ...
and almost no color transfer ...
in contrast to the Paulson chips where it almost immediately .... Their chips are highly sticky, after long shuffle ..

 

[maxim_666666]

long wanted to ask a question.
you plan to do hot stamping on their chips?
I do not mean those boring prime numbers 1, 5, 25 .... and that something more original. for example, standart company logo + 1, 5, 25 in center ..
such as ... Avalon Club ...

Watching this with interest. While I wouldn't expect any existing hot-stamps to be used, a design with similar characteristics (classy look, easy to read denomination, etc) would be very tempting.

 

[maxim_666666]

if you want you can get custom styles, with different edges and get them already with stamps ...
and you do not have to send them anywhere ...
and not have to think what they will get in the end ... ???
with the samples, you will not be disappointed ...

Whats the min order? 300 chips?

 

[jbutler]

Whats the min order? 300 chips?

yeah iirc.

if they really wanted to be customer-friendly, they'd have a maximum, though.

And turn down business? You're kidding right?

no i'm obviously completely serious. you're kidding right?

Moar bright colors!

 

[maxim_666666]

yes... 300 chips - 3 different design ..

[TD="width: 560, colspan: 7"]

We require a minimum order of 300 chips. Within a 300 chip set you can have up to 3 unique chips. In a 400 chip set up to 4, and in a 500 up to 5 etc. Orders for 39mm and 44mm chips cannot be combined. Minimum order size for add-ons and re-orders will be evaluated on a case by case basis and lowered if possible​

I'very had my QA specialist conduct some scroll mold tests using the old PGI sample set.

Wagon test:

I'm looking forward to seeing the 43mm chips.

Really dig the 39mm chips.

 

[maxim_666666]

that's funny ...
why children like them so much ...

I know they are not CPC on the photo ...
But I have several hot stamping CPC, and my baby believes that these are real money ...

Do you have color codes available for color matching inlay artwork? I have artwork that requires color matching, I picked the colors from the pictures in the design tool, but was wondering if there is a better way!

 

[maxim_666666]

I saw somewhere such tables. perhaps CT??

 

[Quicksilver-75]

I have often wondered if a community such as this could sit and figure out a set of let's say 8 chips with certain edgespots if CPC would agree to make some recessed chips. I'm assuming that there are counterfeiting worries from potential customers or maybe just a lack of desire as CPC is already swamped. Simply put, I would easily pay for a bunch of generic chips from CPC rather than use any other cheaper option. Just a dream.

 

[Mental Nomad]

I suspect they simply don't have such a mold. The inlay makes it own space during compression - you'd need a special mold made to leave a recess.

It miiiight be possible to fabricate inlays from a water-soluble material that can take the heat of the pressing... make chips... and then soak out the inlays... (I'd suggest other solvents, but I think they're liable to harm the color on the chips.)

 

[Chicken Rob]

I'm pretty sure the FDL is recessed with a smooth surface in the recess.

 

[Quicksilver-75]

I'm pretty sure the FDL is recessed with a smooth surface in the recess.

Not deep enough to accommodate a label. Also the edges are rounded making any 2mil vinyl look "not so good"

Hello David, I was checking out your website but I could not find your artwork requirements. Did I miss it? I was specifically looking for artwork templates for each inlay size.

Thanks

I would recommend to shoot him an email. He has all three templates available.

Would that be something good to add to the resource section for download?

Hell yes!

Are the color codes covered anywhere as well? I haven't found a master list of them anywhere. J5 must have 'em. They'd be useful for designers/color matching inlays etc.

i think any color codes would be an approximation due to the natural fluctuation in the dyes used.

Not only is there natural fluctuation but eachc hip is made of millions of specks of varying colors so it is impossible to color code. The colors in the chiptool are as close as we can provide - they are J5's colors. We can't guarantee to match any inlay to chip body color exactly.

david, could you comment on which colors - if any - are easier to match than others?

i ask because i have in mind a set using color matching for yellow, red and black. are there iterations of either yellow or red that are more reliable? i was hoping to match regular yellow or retro red.
