Can you get PI Compression chips hotstamped?

Pondering different options, and if they get the new colors in solid form, this would be the way to go.

I'm not sure but my guess is not.
I think they might melt since they're not 100% real clay.

True, but technically, none of the modern chips are 100% clay. Maybe I will just PM SOK.

Whatever the material is that these are made out of I'm pretty sure that they've been proven too brittle to handle a hotstamp. You can talk to SOK but I'm pretty sure Joe himself ruled this out when they were first produced.

My answer is I have no idea. Never handled one of these chips or did any sort of testing. If someone has a couple extras they would like to send me for the sake of science that is fine by me. PM me.

I love science! Especially when it pertains to hotstamps.

I have a few red spotted blanks for which I never received my labels (tisk tisk joe), so when I get paid in a few days I'll send some over for research. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but $.20 for some nice pink and brown hotstamped solids...mmm

edit:PM sent

No, the PI chips will not take a hot stamp. I tried stamping them several ways a few months back and they would either not take it or crack under the pressure.
