CPC: 318 is L3 and 418 is L6? (2 Viewers)

[doakwolf]

Am I reading this correctly that a 318 CPC chip is a level 3 and a 418 is a level 6?

Seems like a big price difference for one extra dot and considering some of the L4s and L5s. I guess I'm asking if anyone knows why?

If I'm not mistaken, it has to do with the punch that is used, so it's not a matter of one extra spot, but more of a completely new and different punch for the 418 spot pattern.

I think 318 needs to be punched one time and 418 needs to be punched at least two times.
The X18 edge spot is also one of the trickiest to make.

Expensive but sooo beautiful.

Ah OK. Thanks guys. Makes sense. Pat, those are amazing. I really wanted a 418 white with light blue dots for my $1 but I don't think I can afford it now!

Why is divorce and the x18's @ CPC so expensive?

Because they're worth every penny!

Save up for it and get them made EXACTLY how you want! To hell with prices!

I was looking at the L11 chips in these samples and then back at the pricing chart and wondering what the heck an L17 would look like. Does anybody have an example of an L17 in their chipset?

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Isn't L17 like a Tie-Dye chip?

Still struggling to figure out how a 418 / 4A18 is L6/7 and a 4DSA18 is a L4?!

I'd love to see some video or photos of these things in production

There's is no 418 punch, so they need to use the 218 punch twice to produce the spot pattern.

There is a 4ds18 punch. Only need to punch the chips once.

This. So much. If you are planning a custom set, go Full Monty. No compromises.

And with the Aussie dollar at risk of dropping more doesn't help.

Yeh, unfortunately I know these things also well. The ratio between USD and EUR is also terrible. And already was, when I paid my chips
to CPC. When I first though about my customs, I thought to make simple ones and cheaper ones. But when I started mocking up the first
chips, I quickly realized, the simple and cheap solution ain't gonna happen. So I had to thought well my finances. I pinched the money
from every source, luckily I have managed to pay back all already. But it was tough. And is. I know, especially now, when I'm living alone
and pay everything myself.

I thought that if I make compromises, I am not going to happy with them. And in that case, I most likely would have to redesign some
of the chips. And remake them. That would have been the more expensive way.
