Matsui Cash Mocks (2 Viewers)

[Verebrant]

I have these 3 red chips. I would have thought then to be, from left to right, crimson, maroon and scarlet....but with the colour kit I'm really not sure..

And speaking of differences between colour kit and final colours.....what colour is that incredible, bright orange on the chip on the left....?

 

[mipevi]

Really difficult to tell the colors based on pictures as lighting will always play a part. Crimson in my color kit is close to maroon, only darker / more brown. It's way, way off from how it's represented in the chip color chart (brochure and chip designer). I think it was the color that caused the original Zen 1k chips to be remade..? In my kit I can't find anything to match the red of the chip on the left, so it's very difficult to get a grasp on the orange as well...

@Verebrant Any chance I could borrow some of your Matsui chips?

 

[Verebrant]

@mipevi

I'll send you a pic of what I have. Then just let me know which you would like to borrow (y) :thumbsup:

I'll be happy to borrow some of your samples afterwards

 

[Pinball]

most confusing number is 18 vermillion

On the design tool it looks like blazing orange, colour kit more redish brown/orange

also irish green has its differences

 

[Verebrant]

@Pinball

And which is closer to reality?

The Vermillion in your set looks quite vibrant and bright.

Latest iteration of spot progression (colors need work), 40mm chips with a 43mm five hundo, all chips beveled.

The signature matsui chip design. The other that is quite unique to matsui are the 3 arrows on the edges. What do you think about that design?

 

[mipevi]

@LHT Not quite sure what you are referring to, do you mean this chip:

This is a later addition to the Matsui line, it flows very differently from the other inner ring chip options (kind of like serif vs. sans serif fonts). For this set I'm not a fan, and don't think it goes too well with any of the denomination inner rings (looks nice with text though).

 

[LHT]

Yeah thats the one. It looked interesting as I hadnt seen it anywhere else. U know how it is.. new is nice. Haha!

What will you be using as the inlay logo / text?

 

[mipevi]

I do like the dragon idea, I think it's an awesome way to use glitter. No actual artwork done yet.

 

[Pinball]

but this way you pay twice the set up charge

 

[mipevi]

@Pinball Huh? You mean because of the oversized chip, or what?

 

[Pinball]

yes

 

[mipevi]

For some reason I was under the impression that I could just use the same artwork as the decals are the same size. If not, I'll obviously do an all 40mm set. Will confirm from the rep.

I have commissioned a Chinese dragon drawing from an artist... :

My chief complaint about this design and progression is that it makes me very, very envious.

Please share, when you find out. I had the same impression.

Bad news is this didn't pan out, would have been kinda cool to have something unique. The guy was a nightmare to work with, pretty much ignored what I wanted or needed.

Good news is the dragon on the B&G chip is available. (y) :thumbsup:

 

[mipevi]

Just a quick proof of concept. :coffee:

Do you leave the back ground blue of the inlay?

 

[mipevi]

Yeah the idea will be to loosely match the chip's base color, like on the B&G chip.

 

[Poker Zombie]

It will be interesting to see if they can do color all the way to the edge like that. The base of the label is all glitter, and the colors are printed on top. In all instances that I know of, the inks can chip off when being cut, so glitter labels usually have a "ring" of glitter around the edge to preserve the ink.

 

[mipevi]

@Poker Zombie Do you know if that ink chipping happened on the Matsui WSOP glitter chips as well? At least based on these pics by @dew4au I can't see any problem...

Edit: Forgot I got a bunch of samples from Matsui. No issue with the glitter decals. I do know the ink chipping happened with some 3rd party labels. Could be a matter of laminating before cutting, or just higher end equipment.

 

[Pinball]

Dont forget the extra costs when you change the inlay even its just the colours

 

[mipevi]

I was told that I can change the decal colors free of charge.

 

[mipevi]

Now that I think about it, there was also an issue on the labels where the print color changed. The transition wasn't perfect, at a certain angle you were able to see the glitter between the colors. This does not happen with Matsui though, all printing is perfect.

Not an issue on my set.

Cool, I didnt know that.

Well, this helps me with my high limit set

@Mental Nomad Confirmed, no extra artwork charge for oversized chips.

 

[mipevi]

Have I been staring at chips too long, or would custom (invisible) UV markings complementary to the artwork be totally worth another setup charge?
