Question for any Tina chip owners, when you receive an order of Tina chips from the group buy. Is there anything you need to do to them, wash them with dish soap, rinse off just with water anything? Or right out of the box their ready to fly? Thanks

Each roll of 25 chips are wrapped in plastic, but they can be slightly dusty. So I like to wipe them with a damp paper towel. But I’ve also played with them out of the box without issues.

Ceramic chips when totally smooth are uhh... Ceramics. Chips using the same material but having indented/debossed edge designs along with a recessed center are called "hybrids" as in "they're ceramic, but they're like traditional chips with indentations for designs... so uhhh, we'll just call them hybrid."

Been scratching my head with the "hybrid" designation for a while. I thought it meant it contained two different materials (plastic and fairy dust) thank you

I actually think I might have some of these. Aren't the empire and taj mahal ceramics from Apache the same thing.

My Taj from Apache is cards mold. All ceramic, no label, non hybrid. Not sure about empire.

I actually have both. The Apache Taj Mahals have slightly different artwork in regards to edge spots. As to the ceramic blanks, I can’t say, but the Justin Taj Mahals have a whole lot less spinners.

Tina will slightly shrink your label design down. There will be approx 1mm "border" around your design. The labels do not print edge to edge

Wait, really? I feel like I’ve seen a bunch of full bleed Tina’s designs (Stardust, Lunar Landing, etc.).

They will adjust the margins to protect what they deem as the critical art - usually text, denom, or any main logos. In the case of the Tangiers faux inlays, they also adjusted the margins there too as the faux inlays were deemed critical. But half the designs have background art that can be trimmed without making the design look off.

I'm good with the adjustments generally, but their printer has less variance than the adjustments they make (more heavy handed).
