[...] you will have a very limited time to complete your artwork in March, maybe an extra week. When we start to make the 44mm's all orders will be made at once, then the equipment will be removed and out of production.

if im reading it correctly -

- you will "tool up" for a 1" inlay later this year.
- 44mm may or may not be offered again.
- after you do this first batch of orders, the equipment will be removed and out of prodcution.

the message seems to have gone from a "will happen" to "maybe" to "equipment removed and out of production".

just trying to get the straight scoop.

I used to consider myself a patient person. Until this. I can't believe how much I want to see this review and edge spots available.

Before this week, I was unaware of exactly how much time I could spend on Chiptalk and how many times I could check it in the space of an hour. Or a day. My addiction is much further along than I originally thought!

...that's all. Back to staring at the pic from the first post...

Just wait until you are like me and order 1000 chips everytime they offer more options!

Just a related question:
Is anyone producing acrylic trays that hold these things?

I've not been keeping up (with CT), but just came on to post the 44mm news only to see this thread!
!
I've already ordered the regulars and just sent over the "43" mm mockups last nite and then heard the good news.

You all knew this was coming, nobody ordered yet?

HPC 43mm Racks:

Of course, will it matter that these are 44mm chips and those are 43mm trays?

They haven't told us what edge spots are available yet. Rumor (or, darn near confirmed fact) has it that there will be some edge spot patterns previously unavailable, and available exclusively on the 44mm chip.

I plan on starting the ordering process this week, but I certainly can't get anything finalized until I know what these patterns will be!

You, Sir, have far far deeper pockets than I.
