can someone here give me some input on the quality of TR kings inlay and how different they are from ASMs. ASMs tend to frequently have off-centered inlays and prints. Wandering if TR kings experience this as well

Others can probably tell you better, but all the samples I have are perfectly centered. I have TR King's and Paulsons and I think they equal in quality.

i dont have any samples, but looking at the photos they dont look to be recessed in as deep as the Paulsons but rather something similar to ASM. Again, im judging it through a photo so please correct me.

All the ones I've ever seen have been fine, but that's certainly been in no great quantity.

Warewulf and some of the others form the earlier TRK group buy will probably chime in. So far everyone I've heard from who's gotten TRK has been very happy.

I'm in early stages of a custom job with them FWIW.

The inlays for the TR Kings I have (Deadwoods and Rounders) are perfectly seamless to the chip itself. Its almost impossible to tell where the inlay stops and chip starts. You won't feel any difference between the chip and inlay until you hit the crown mold. Personally, I like this.

I too was planning on getting customs from TRkings but it will probably be next year as i just got another set of ASMs and also need to complete my earlier set.

I like their edge spot availability but not too fond of the mold design. If the inlay is of high quality it will certainly make up for it. Vice versa, i think ASMs have very nice mold and colors but they lack the quality in their inlay.

This is the way TR Kings are, no seam at all.

TR Kings website says minimum order of 5000, but I am guessing if there are this many people getting custom jobs from them they must go lower for minimums. What kinds of costs are they wanting>?

[hachkc]

TR King will do smaller orders (<1000) but the chips will cost anywhere from $1.50 to $2.00 per chip depending on the options and such.

You're kidding, right?

ASM positions their inlays dead center.. and in the same direction compared to the edgespots. There is no quality problem with their inlays compared to any other compression molded chip I've seen. All of them are going to have slight variances due to the nature of the beast. If you want completely uniform graphics, you're buying a ceramic chip.
