Ceramic Chip printing machine...

Anyone know where I can go to purchase a new or used ceramic chip printing machine? Can't seem to find any resources online. Really need some help....Manufacturer's names, models of machines, sizes, etc. Any info will help. I DO NOT want names of those who can print the chips for me. I'm looking to start printing my own. Any help?

Also, any pointers as to what the whole process entails would be great! You can e-mail me the details if you don't want EVERYONE to know how it's done. bopeesdadd@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Re: Ceramic Chip printing machine...

I've spoken to joe at Palm Imports in the past about getting set up with a machine. He can help you with getting set up to print your own chips. He also is a Major importer of the ceramic blanks and can supply those to you as well. Definitely worht giving him a call

Thanks!
Aint nobody going to teach you this art- its a highly guarded process.
THats why theres basically three US makers on a decent volume scale- Chipco Nevada Jack and Palm Imports.

With that said- there's SO much more to it then buying a machine---

depending on how many chips you want to produce a day ( our current output WHEN things goes well is 10,000 chips a day)... we have around 35 grand in equipment JUST for ceramics not including icc profiles etc

youre looking at an investment of around 20 grand plus--- it can be done cheaper but it all depends on volume desired

Youre much better off having them made--

Trust me on this

Re: Ceramic Chip printing machine...

Thanks for the info. I'm not looking to make them just for myself. 20 grand sounds reasonable. I can only guess that they pay for themselves relatively quickly based on the number of chips produced. Where can I get a hold of the machines?

its sort of like saying-- I want to be a plumber- so if I go out and buy plumbing tools I'm a plumber.

Making ceramic poker chips is an art- similiar to making Paulson poker chips--- you cant call Paulson and tell them you want to make chips where did you get your machines?

This is a learned trade- or craft- and a very difficult one at best--and as protected as making the illustrious poker chips used in casinos.

It took us almost 1 1/2 years to hone this trade- and were far from masters yet- but were getting there.

THeres probably 6 components involved- each one a pain in the ass to learn correctly. I wont even go into aligned edges LOL

I wish you luck in your endeavor but unfortunately I cant help.
Joe

Do you really think you and a couple of other companies have "the corner" on the market? 1.5 years is all it took for you to learn this trade? WOW! It doesn't sound that hard at all. I just got back from Vegas over the weekend, and I didn't see ANY aligned edge chips at ANY of the casinos. In fact, I would say about 75% of the chips I saw were Paulson's with inlays. Only ceramics I saw were at SOME of the Bally's properties. SO, it sounds like MOST of the printing you are doing is for poker tournaments and private poker rooms.

A learned trade or craft that only takes 1.5 years to learn, doesn't sound that difficult to learn. It sounds like to me that you are affraid someone will come along and "steal" your business, and that must be why you are SOOO unwilling to give ANY information about machines, etc. to someone who asks. Hell, if you think it's so difficult to learn, why not let some sap waste his money trying to figure it out? If it's so hard, maybe he'll fail! EVER THINK OF THAT?! What are you so afraid of?.... Oh yeah, I already pointed that out.

Besides, why would any casino with half a brain purchase chips from a company that also sells geeky-looking 4-wheeled bikes? Not to mention the poorly done web site.

(you piss on me, I'll Sh** on you!)

He's just giving you a little bit of insight. If he's not telling you what you want to hear in regards to what you asked there is no need to go on the attack. A simple search on Google would give you plenty of information on manufacturers.
