It doesn't look off-center
It is. But maybe not as much as I thought.
Maybe I'm just being too picky.
Incredible!!!! Amazing design, Eric!
Thanks! I had a concept. I started working with
@Quicksilver-75 who gave it some substance, but had to give up the project. Then
@p5woody put it all together in a cohesive design. There are two sides to the design Woody did...then he got busy and
@timinater finished some bounties and seating chips for me. And of course,
@Gear tweaked and fine tuned everything.
Unfortunately that is a big drawback of concentric circles close to the edge of your label. Almost impossible to get perfect. Would maybe be better with the full red color to the edge?
So when I had my custom ASMs done, I was warned against an outer ring for this very reason. But I wanted a white ring for two reasons: 1.) The color match didn't have to be perfect and 2.) With thicker labels you can see the side of the label, so a dark label has a thin white ring. I didn't want that.
I'm not throwing Woody under the bus, but he suggested the white ring for color matching. I figured Woody has done enough labels printed by Gear that he knew Gear could do it. I should've asked.
Then when the labels were sent to Gear for print, he didn't suggest it would be a problem. I just figured technology had improved since the days of ASM printing my labels. Unfortunately, at that point, my expectation was perfection.
I discussed it with Gear today and he was awesome. He apologized for not having the discussion with me. Truth be told, if I knew, I probably would've changed the design to make the white bring a little wider so a small unbalance would not be as noticeable. Or I would've done a much lighter background. But hear said this is probably the best results that can be expected. I need to look at all the labels and make sure thatbthese two examples are the extent of it and the rest are equal or better. For his part, Gear told me he wanted me to be 100% happy, and if that meant a full refund, he would do it. I do t think that's fair to Gear, but it's a stand-up position to take.
All chips will be posted by the weekend.
