Interesting, were both chips the same color & spot combo? I could see this happening if one was a regular color and the other was DG, since DG are more brittle. Quote:

BCCs are like an assembly line. If you're doing them right, you can't go wrong. If I had a choice of either chip manufacturer using the same mold, BCC would be choice without question. |

Even with the regular ones, the lighter chips seem to stamp better than the darker ones. I never seem to have that problem with the t-molds. I did MidnightRose's ASM stamping, and it was very difficult to get the chips consistent. I think we came away with 7-10% in the questionable range. They weren't bad at all...just not fantastic. I'm really picky, though, so YMMV.
I stamped mipevi's coconut club ones on t-molds and I couldn't believe how consistent they were. Every one just popped. He's got a picture of one in his thread. 90%+ looked that good.

Well...guess that means I'm full of shi* as those are ASM, right? 
I still like stamping t-molds the best, but yeah, those h-molds turned out nice. Not a big fan of the hourglass with stamps, but they can be done.

I didn't have any trouble with my inlayed H-molds, but because there is no recess the hotstamped chips won't stack like bricks. Until you shuffle them a while that is. I hate that part.  |
