Update: Currently, I'm working with one-up samples. Next weekend, I'll notify everyone on the list and work on chip samples of their artwork. I plan to be ready by July 4th.

Thanks,

Jason -
Here's another random thought.........

Dye ceramic blanks (ie..the all the buzz about faux) and then laser.

[H4tfan]

Hi Jim, how've you been? Does the ceramic work well with dye? They could be dyed after the laser process to color the lasered lettering/image too.

any progress to report here? looks very interesting.

Currently, I can make one-up chips to sample the process and offer ideas for designing the artworks. I have a heavy work load and I'm several weeks away from completion. Any long-standing Chiptalk member who wishes to know why this is being delayed can send a request by PM.

Thanks,
Jason

Hey....sorry I missed your reply. Haven't tried dying ceramic, but my guess is that they would (being pourus and all).

Anybody out there dying faux chips let me know.....I will send you a few ceramic blanks if you don't mind testing them in your next faux batch.

I've dyed a few hundred FC's. Can't imagine it would work with ceramics.
If you want, send some blanks over. Got plenty of dye.

I was just thinking about this.

On FC's, if you were to laser the chips, plain chip, dyed chip, chip laser cut THEN dyed.
