Custom artwork group buy. US/CAN CARDS MOLD (15 Viewers)

[TX_Golf_N_Poker]

Left: textured 43mm | Right: smooth 39mm

I see no real difference in color and if there is it may just be that chip not due to the surfaces.

This is a very close up photo. It is very difficult for me to tell textures v smooth when I have them in my hands an I am specifically aware of and looking for the differences. And I still get it wrong sometimes. I don’t want to overstate the difference. But the easiest way to tell is in certain light you can see the different sheen were the texturing ends before the edge of the chip.

Below you can see the print “spotting” on the light blue #2 color of the smooth surface no mold chip on top of the textured chip on the bottom. To my eye it actually looks like faux texturing when I am trying to look for it. It appears to still occur on the textured chip, but the texturing hides it. On all of the coloring sample chips this is really the only example of this that I could find. And none of your players would really notice this. It doesn’t bother me at all but this is what Tina is referring to I believe.

If I had the choice I would get the textured because it seems less prone to scuffs or streak marks but the difference is just very minimal in my eyes.

I examined all my chips pretty closely under strong light with a magnifying glass. The only color that I'm seeing this spotting on is my yellow T1000. The spots are pretty uniform all through the parts of the chip that are yellow, and appear to be a slightly more orange shade. (the orange doesn't show in the pic where it just looks grey) I just assumed it was a bit of darker colored ink needed to get the correct shade of yellow. No? I did notice the spots are only on the surface of the chip, and not down inside the "cards" impression where the surface is much smoother.

What appears in the pic to be spotting on the red and blue color is not. It's just texture differences and possibly shadow from the strong light. The ink in these colors is uniform.

I always noticed that on my Aces chips too for the sky blue and gray colors. Never bothered me though.

I don’t think that would bother me one bit.
can’t wait!!!

I agree. I didn't even notice it without using the magnifying glass. I would not have known it was there except for this discussion. It's a non-issue for me.

My main point was - is it even a defect of any kind, or simply two different inks required to get the correct color? It's also in the beer glass, and that seems to have two different colors of spots. I thin it's just the different ink colors required to make the right final color.

I would have a hard time calling it a defect if you need a magnifying glass to see it

From what I recall, Tina is the one who keeps mentioning this. I am not bothered by it and really wouldn’t have even noticed it. I would have to look back at her comments again but she may have just been saying is that the textured finish hides this artifact. Maybe someone complained at some point. Doesn't bother me.

@Pinesol13 straight to production?

Defect was a poor choice of words on my part. What I recall is that Tina pointed it out as a potentially undesirable result of using the smooth chips. (primarily in regards to the 43mm plain mold) I think it's like @Eloe2000 said, she just wanted us to be aware of it.

 

[Pinesol13]

@Pinesol13 straight to production?

Yes please!

I dont see my black hundred cash chip or purple NCV chip, which submitted new artwork with thicker text. But assuming they got those I'm good to go

So do I!

The ones on the left are the updated AI files, I had to make the text bolder to stand out. While I was at it I changed the spot color on the $1.

Thanks for looking out

 

[Bluegrass Poker]

Any shipping notice on 3rd batch yet? How long did it take first batch to get from shipping date to you?

Thanks for all your awesome awesomeness @SeanGecko

 

[SeanGecko]

Great work . If a second buy was done, could these be used (with my inlay design)? If so, can we get the gold on the 100 and 1000 darkened a bit?

Don't you think the gold on your chips is darker because they are old and well used? To my eye, the gold on the cards mold replicas looks amazing!

But you should get your chips done the way you want them. So you just need to hire whoever created those to create another version for you with a darker gold. I'm sure someone will speak up and tell you which designer created these.

Indeed. Will await advice as to the designer.

Oh. I guess those are the live chips. Sick!

Has anyone figured out which racks will be best for these chips?

 

[Eloe2000]

Has anyone figured out which racks will be best for these chips?

I asked at some point and someone had an answer. The answer is right there between page 3 and page 147

If I get around to it tomorrow I have various Paulson and Chipco and even Brybelly racks can check.

Typing "best rack" into my bing search engine revealed:

U-S-A! U-S-A!

I believe several have said that standard Paulson sized racks work well. I'm still out of town and didn't bring my calipers with me, or I'd measure for you.

Then there's always these beauties! Almost as sexy as the rack @FDLmold posted...

Yeah. I wasn’t about to read all this again LOL.

@SeanGecko has said racks from Spinettis and @Marhault has said Chipco racks from @BR Pro Poker work well too.

I think 66.7mm racks were mentioned as being the best fit.
