@Gear labels are better than inlays (2 Viewers)

Might be the beer talking but he NAILED the color match on the Horseshoe tri-moons into quarters that even if they were kept as snappers the new labels would be an improvement!

 

[Lars]

Wow. Those are perfect! Much better matching than the originals.

 

[72o]

Damn you're right huh. Very nice!!

 

[Kyle]

Yeah @Gear kick ass. No matter what anybody else says. He does great work!

Those are nice looking chips. Congrats. (y) :thumbsup:

 

[12thMan]

Excellent!

 

[MoscowRadio]

Those are some bad ass quarters!

And I totally agree. @Gear did some labels for me a while back and they were fantastic.

 

[SleepInPC]

I mixed up the real one and sticker for a bit and wondered what was so special about it haha. Amazing quality.

 

[GoStumpy]

It is nearly impossible to notice that they have labels applied.. they look so perfect

 

[Marius L]

Great color matching for sure. These look awesome

 

[DJ Mack]

If I ever get labels made I'm going color matched for sure. Casinos are usually required to have non-matching inlays, but matched look much cooler IMO.

 

[mummel]

Wow I didnt realize the pink part was a sticker. Perfect match. Nicely done.

You keep saying this, but I don't recall ever seeing it in print. Can you please cite a regulatory reference for your claim?

 

[CraigT78]

Amazing! Better than the original!

Do you still have the GPI proofs for the Horseshoes? That spec was listed for the orange chip. I asked one of my gaming contacts about it and he said it's for security and actually required on every chip above $5. The OAC rules don't specifically address this but I guess it's one of those things where the executive director won't approve chips that don't comply. As I stated the first time I mention it, it's for security reasons I don't completely understand because really, I don't. I fail to see how a slightly different inlay color is adds to the security one gains with things like UV marking and LaserTrak. Unlike those features the colors are trivial to duplicate. And yet all the Ohio casinos I'm aware of follow this and I've seen it in plenty of other states too.

By the same token, strictly reading the rules there is no automatic authorization or approved color scheme for $2 value chips in Ohio. And yet, the Cincinnati casino had them as Horseshoe and has them again as JACK because the director has presumably so approved.

How about some pics of the brown ones?

Off topic but I'm finally getting around to oiling my CPC cash set. The quarters are solid light chocolate brown and boy do they look nice with a little oil. I'm really starting to like brown as a chip color.

I thought 'hey, my boy wants to watch me put stickers on poker chips!'

Then I realize what he was doing... (2.5 years old)

Saved them and here is how it's going:

What options did you guys go with for the finishing on your labels? Matte/unlaminated?

 

[GoStumpy]

Yep. For used chips its pretty much the only option... with new mint chips you can choose the laminated options, but I stuck with unlaminated even for the tri-moon chips

It's almost too close for laminated on the Horseshoe snappers. I tested some last night. The recess depth is almost the same as the laminated label thickness. It will work, technically, but the label will be almost flush with the outer ring of the chip. You're likely to get a few spinners where the contact point between stacked chips is the label and not the clay itself.

If you want to use a laminated label with these, I believe removing the original inlay is the way to go. Fortunately, @Gear provides this service as well

I would go a step further and say @Gear labels are better than sex.

I think you guys might be doing it wrong, and I don't mean relabeling.

Maybe better then sex with a old person, but not with me!

No using @Gear labels as pasties tonight, that's cheating.
