I got an email from Glenda at PC.com today confirming that as of today, ASM offers the NO MOLD.

Here are the specifics on what she knows:

The 1 1/16" inlay allow a 1" printable area and again a full bleed to the 1 1/16th. This will be produced as full clay chips (no spots).

She had a sample chip on her desk in front of her as she was writing to me...

I am pretty close to putting in an order for these (instead of doing the design on a custom ceramic). If I do pull the trigger, I'll post pics, not to worry.

Whoa! Nice! With the loss of TRK we gain a great mold from ASM.

So this is an attempt to have a crest and seal looking chip?

Sounds good if that is what you are going after.

That's what I am going for, so it will work perfect for me... I did see an email Cathy at PC.com sent out that referred to them as the "crest and seal mold", so I think that is what they are thinking too...

So they are solids, no spots? Interesting.

Samples will be ready to ship by the end of next week, hopefully. I'll post mine when I get it in.

Here's Cathy's email (basically the same information):

The printable inlay can either be 1" centers with a printable area being 7/8" or the center can be 1 1/16" with a printable area of 1". Also this mold you will not be able to have edge spots but I see where you don't have any on your chips. So I am assuming that this is not a
problem. Pricing will be determined next week as well once we have done a few text runs to make sure the mold is still ok and the chips are up to our standards. Email me back towards the end of next and I should have all the details for you at that time.

Pricing to be determined... That probably means more expensive than their current clay solids...

Interesting. Since there's no edge spots, I bet these can be produced much quicker than spotted chips. No cutting and pasting little bits of clay and aligning the inlay before pressing!
