This is a trick question, right?Agreed, but have you considered rotating the edge spots on the first chip 60 degrees so you have a 12 o'clock edge spot instead of a 6 o'clock edgespot?
This is not true of CPC-produced chips, unless you specifically request that they not be aligned.When the chips are produced, the labels aren't going to be aligned
Every chip in my set had the inlay aligned to the edge spots the same way they were mocked up.
same with me.
Safe bet to plan on them being as they are in mockup.
They do have a few degrees of error in the alignment though.
what I would like to know as well here is...
Well I did notice the stripes on the actual inlay as well, but that was not what I meant. The scratches are actually around the shaped inlay:"Scratches" on the inlay - or lines that seem to traverse the inlay - are normal.
I always got extra when I ordered from ASM. The extra more than made up for the few production errors that I found.
Ah, I see what you're saying. No, that isn't normal, nor have I ever seen that on actual production chips - shaped inlays or otherwise.The scratches are actually around the shaped inlay

While we're on the subject of inlays I did have a question. I've seen some inlays that are slick and some that are textured (pressed into the mold texture). Is that a choice I can make or is that mold/inlay size or shape dependent?
Nope.Is that a choice I can make
Texture on the inlay looks a bit crappy on one of the Jockeys whereas on another it looks clean, no idea what the source of this is.
...I believe this is due to wear and tear on the mold.
Sorry I was just speaking in general terms as that is what was said to me when I asked CPC earlier this year about the amount of texture on the inlay surface. I have various inlaid samples on the A and H molds and every chip has varying degrees of texture (even front to back)... instances of glossy smooth, very course and everything in between.I thought the jockey mold was one of the newer molds.
