Hot Stamping returning soon :) (1 Viewer)

Sorry David, but more questions. I have some dies @meatboy's. They have been made for handstamping machine. Can they be used in your equipment? I could send them to you for closer inspection at some point.

Usually it works the other way. You have to know how the die needs to be set up for the machine, so when you order them from the engraver you select the options to work with the machine. Not the other way around.

So the cost of the dies is a real sticking point, and once you sink that much cash into a set of dies if they're mounted they really have to stick with the machine they're set up for unless you get lucky and find someone that can mount them.

Very cool that hotstamping is getting revived for CPC.
 
One more question:

Is it possible to take a hot stamp die designed with circular text (similar to your Classic Poker Chips example in the OP), and use it on a chip that has also been stamped with a centered numeric die?

In other words, stamp each chip twice per side -- once for the centered denomination, and once for the customized circular text?

Orientation of hot stamps is random, can't be any other way. What you seek is a die which has a central hole which holds the denom dies at the same time. Not sure of the cost but it is possible. Many casino orders were done like that back in the day.
 
What we need here is perhaps the "best" chipper among us (whatever that means), maybe a few of them. Great negotiator,s well known for at least a decade, representing the chipping community, to try and broker a deal with the E&C owner since they would not talk to David. Go try and have a face to face meeting, aren't the owner(s) in Florida, and pull this off

Hotstamps are fantastic...Exit Only West custom die hotstamped E&C quarter pies for 3 table main events would be above the stratosphere.
 
Oh man. We are living interesting times. Thank you so much David.
 
Pulled out my scroll mold color sample set last night and started planning out a Hitching Post solid hot stamped tournament set. So stoked for this.

I'm thinking about a sunset hot stamped set, lol. I don't even have my solids set yet (placing the order very soon though)

The hole is deep.

Just sent J5 an apologetic email asking him to put me in line for this as well. Is it bad when you have two completely separate custom set requests in at once?
 
Looks as though we will get good results on A-Crest, CSQ & HHR molds, although the available stamping area on HHR is small. Other molds (probably due to different clay densities caused at pressing) did not work well.

It breaks my chipper's heart that scroll mold stamping isn't available; a hot stamped scroll mold chip started me down the rabbit hole and I don't think I could resist the opportunity. My wallet, however, is currently googling flights to Maine so that it can thank you in person.

Yeah, my wife would be pissed he said HHR if she knew.
 
Great news indeed. Not so much for my wallet, but still...

Very interested to see some of the GB/shared hot stamp offerings that could come up.
 
I also think about this ....
if you had a "home" stamp (whith different denominations), it would be great ...
Of course, it should be more attractive, (as there is already correctly noted that)
like "Avalon" or "private card room"
 
I'm sorry, but, personally, for my taste, the inscription (I mean the shape of the letter) and the image of the lighthouse ... quite bad ...
I think many will agree with me ...
it would probably be more productive to have 1 to 2 samples of beautiful stamp, and an infinite number of variations of solid CPC (or from the spot), who will choose for yourself users.
 
just for comparison ....

I even think that from a commercial point of view, the image of an eagle (it's just an example) would be more commercially successful than the sight of the lighthouse. If we consider the Americans. Although I could be wrong ...
perhaps even the preservation of traditions ... I mean ASM ...

I'm fairly certain the lighthouse stamp was just an example, an advertising chip (which is part of their logo). It wasn't meant to suggest that the hotstamped chips they offer would have that logo on it. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding your posts.
 
You need to remember also the stamp was probably designed to fit the inlay area of many chips which varies for testing.
