IG Grand Primary $500 metallic edge spots tuning pink? (1 Viewer)

Not sure what to make of this. Cleaning it seems it make them worse, maybe?
Curious what others see.

I cleaning makes it worse...it must be color bleed (blue into grey), else color transfer could be the culprit

 

[upNdown]

Fwiw, these two chips were cleaned exactly the same way - soak in tsp substitute, dish soap and warm water, for 7 min, then scrubbed with hard bristle kitchen dish scrubber. So I don’t think it’s the cleaning that’s causing it?

Ours had pink on it too. Ben had a horrible time getting it to come off I think

 

[greenchip]

The same thing happened with Tunica Roadhouse chips a while ago. I think the blurple or purple color easily mixes with others?
Cleaning makes worse based on my experience.

Did he get the pink off eventually? I gave it a few extra scrubs and when that didn’t work, I hammered it with the mr. Clean eraser, which may have made it worse, and then I just said screw it and moved on.

From his extremely displeased response, I would say not very successfully

Ugh. Well, the metallic colors weren’t doing much as 1/8s - maybe this pink makes them charming.

Had the same thing on sample sets, haven’t got my main ones yet but I suspect they’re all like that. Didn’t really pay that much attention to it after I threw one of them in the ultrasonic though. I’ll go check it out and let you know.

Another vote for color transfer. If you want to see which colors transfer the most, drag the edge across white paper. Some are practically crayons.

 

[Tonysquander]

This one was initially hand cleaned and went into the US later. Transfer is still there. I don’t remember what it looked like before cleaning.

 

[allforcharity]

Try a lower temperature in the ultrasonic? Maybe 35C?

 

[Ben8257]

All hand cleaning for me and still a royal pain! When I get my barrel I am going to try cool water and dish soap only like with hot stamps and see if it reduces the transfer. It is definitely from the colors running into each other, it takes forever but you can get it off of them.

 

[upNdown]

That sounds like a juice isn’t worth the squeeze situation to me. Maybe I’ll come back to them.

It's coming from the blurple, same thing happens on the white spot on the Roadhouse $500 Blurple chip.

For cleaning color transfer, try a Magic Eraser

Yeah, as I said, that’s what seemed to make it worse. But I suppose if I erased only in a radius direction, following those spots north to south (almost like sanding with the grain,) it might be more effective.

I agree, it makes worse no matter the direction of scrubbing. I still use a magic eraser to remove the grimes and dirt on the chip, but not expecting the color transfer to be any better.
In the past, this really annoyed me, so I tried various methods. 2000 sandpaper, hand sanitizer, eraser, or anything people can think of, none worked out. Now, I see people having the same problems plus experience with Tunica Roadhouse, I'm good now.
