Is it me or do those yellows look particularly yellowy?

 

[Gus]

Would’ve been happy to pay $100 to get a handful of quality in-process pics of my chips

If the process won’t be a trade secret anymore, this could be a great upsell/add-on for more revenue that some customers would be happy to shell out for

 

[Relik]

Grand Island, NY, hmm... right up the road from me.

Maybe you can help break them in! ;-)

Thank you for the update, @Classic_Giraffe

Given how the communication has gone to date, whoever does reach out, please post an update here. I think having one or two people reach out via email with this type of inquiry would be more effective than 30 people bombarding them with the same question.

I sent a message about an hour ago, also mentioning that I could share any information on the mold schedule here, with permission from Mike. If I receive a positive answer and some information, I'm happy to share that here as soon as possible.

The ones for Geralds really do like good. The bootleggers ones still look like dijon mustard.

Yep, I meant the Gerald's. They pop, which is not something you usually associate with a CPC yellow from what I've seen, especially as a base color.

 

[BigGrizz]

Maybe some of the upgrades make the colors less contaminated? The old shop and parts were lookin pretty rough. Maybe Canary is (and maybe day glows) less dirty.

Nice chips. @Gerald

Maybe the Gerald

 

[SwissChip]

Nice to see a batch of chips before the mold imprints : )

But the spots look a bit unconsistant to me…?!

They always have been?

As adding spots is manual work, no two chips are the SAME, that's the beauty of CPC.

 

[danopoker]

That's part of the beauty of CPC

You can still see (and know) it‘s handcrafted, even with ‚cleaner‘ spots.
The punch out tool doesn‘t change shape…!

 

[NotRealNameNoSir]

I haven't yet ordered a CPC set, is this mid process? The edges look messier than I expected with that line in the middle, maybe that just goes away with play? Thanks for any clarification. Mold itself looks great.

 

[links_slayer]

those are pre-lathe if i had to guess

[Sprouty]

Spots look good to me.

 

[toothpic]

I think it's very cool to see these in progress pictures of the chips being made. First time for me.

I suddenly have a huge craving for sugar cookies too..

 

[NotRealNameNoSir]

I'M HERE TO LEARN, NOT TO ATTACK CPC, OOOPS SORRY!

It doesn't. But someone probably needs to put new clay inside. Unless you prefer to keep the holes instead, that way they will be perfect! At least until the clay is pressed.

The chips have not been ground down. Those lines are flashing left from the mold split. They put them in a very expensive grinder (it broke down once and crippled their output) and rotate them against a grinding wheel until they are the perfect diameter.

Other companies do it differently, employing lathes for example.

Edit to add that this also seems to be a bottleneck for production. Chips will sit for days or longer waiting to be finished in the old facility. They may have improved this part of the process, who knows?

 

[LeGold]

Wait... are those 3 molds running at the same time?

 

[CantSpellPoker]

Wait... are those 3 molds running at the same time?

I was wondering about this, too. There are photos of multiple molds, which (I assume) means that either they have the ability to produce multiple molds simultaneously, or they have completed all orders on certain molds and have moved on to the next in line. But we haven't heard anything about shipping/deliveries/etc. But I know literally nothing, so don't mind me.

They had eight presses. The problem was always enough people to run them.

It‘s just on the green 25s the spots look somehow like AI generated ; )
The others look cool!
Especially these yellow ones look really nice on the pics.
I guess it‘s (a new) DG Yellow? If the more pastel yellow is canary?
Hard to say on pics…

If we get eight running molds at the same time then the wait times should go down…

 

[Frode789]

I am curious what the new price will be.. How much of a spike $$?
