It took some time, but the weather finally cooperated enough that I could take the chips outside for some quality shots of the latest project Geat did for the Zombies.
First, let me just say that the precision of the cut diameter for the Royals chips is spot on! Sure, labeling takes a little longer (about 30 seconds per chip) when there is a nanometer of error room, but the result is a label that looks like an inlay. I only messed up 2 chips. Thankfully, Gear added a handful of extras for such emergencies.
Print quality is just superb. That little red pimento in the olive? It's just 10 pixels, at 300 dpi. That's just crazy! The white blemishes on the small glass version, that's not a printing flaw. That's lint from when I oiled the chips. The print quality has a fineness that rivals
lint!
I took these photos outside on a bright, but overcast day. The sunlight catches the laminated matte finish on the upright Large glass chip. The small glass chip shows more lint. Memo to self: get a lint free cloth for future oiling projects.
Gear's laminated labels also stand up to the mild abuse of a splash pot. Ok, no chips were actually abused, I just needed an excuse to post a close-up, splash-pot pic. You know you love it.
600 chips. Back into the racks. Can't wait for July to roll around so I can get these in play.
