I am going with the 1 3/8" inlay size, and Dave recommended a no recess smooth chip for best photo inlay clarity, especially given my inlay size (same as the fan of cards). He also mentioned that while several guys here prefer the textured, BCC goes out smooth to most all the casinos.
Is this the way you are going as well?
I just became a little nervous wondering if i would be happy with the photo clarity, but its in process now... deposit down.
We never discussed the effect the textured finish would have on the quality of the photo (although it makes sense). I just told him I wanted textured and that was it--no further discussion about it. My picture is only of the front of my parents' house (it's a gift to my Father), so it doesn't necessarily have to be crystal clear. Also, I'm going with the 1" inlay cuz anything bigger will obscure the horseshoe edge spot.
Thanks for the thread. This is an excellent question as I, too, am using a photo inlay on the BCC promotion. However, I have not heard back from Mike regarding any finish suggestions. Aquaman, if you have any pictures can you post them? Thanks.
Casinos usually use the smooth surface (I have some hard rocks, etc.)
I think the picture comes across a little clearer with the smooth surface. The one worry is that the surface can tend to show rub marks over time. I think you can see this on some of the "The Casino" chips.
I don't think either choice is better than the other...more personal in nature.
Hopefully i am getting this correct, I may have interpreted farther into the "smooth" conversation with Dave than he intended; However, i have no recess and smooth in my mind as my understanding. You have me questioning myself now. I bet it is smooth, but still a recess. im all turned around now... you know how you get one thing in your head so thats what you hear... i may have done that. It makes more sense to have the recess to prevent spinners.
