Hi,

first post here,

I have some question about ASM inlay and asm print ability,

mainly about the printable area on a 1 inch inlay (i saw some ASM document that tell something like this : 1 inch inlay, 7/8 inch printable but i don't undersatnd clearly what it means because i saw full black background inlay, shapped colored inlay ect ect)...

i searched on chiptalk but i don't find it and can't send any mail to pokerchips at work.

someone can help me please ?

on some of their chips, the actual inlay size reserved for the inlay may be 1 inch, but only 7/8 of that is used for a printed inlay. you'll notice in the pics that the inlay doesnt stretch to the edge of the mold. theres a small 1/8" "buffer zone" between mold and inlay

as for the full black inlay, the hourglass mold does have a full 1 inch, printable inlay

thank you for the answer

when you say full printable you mean that it is possible to make "complex print" on the border of the inlay (like a photo on all the inlay ) ?

Yes, but there is no guarantee that the 1/8" area will be printed. It's called a "Bleed" and it's basically excess area.

thank a lot

I asked a similar inlay question recently to ASM and received this in response:

Hi

We can only do 2 different sizes of inlays. The 7/8" is available on all of our molds, the 1" is only available on the American Mold or the Hourglass Mold.

Also I have an A-mold american eagle that has a 1" inlay and it goes right to the edge. I'll try to get some pictures of them for size comparison.

Might as well not waste your time. This post is almost 5 months old, and the OP has already received his custom ASM's.

Yes, sorry about the old thread reply. I thought I was reading todays posts from the quick links but it was actually a search.
