Really stoked about this one. Just wanted to share. Just gotta work with J5 on the edges and then figure out what size I want to go with.
Matsui! Do it.
J5 and I are currently discussion options. It sounds like OWPS doesn't recommend anything on the edges due to alignment and/or image "stretching" around the corners. I'm leaning toward solid black at the moment. All of the samples I have are plain or nearly plain on the edges. I didn't realize it until I went to check them out last night.
The Matsui route is an intersting one. Does anyone know their minimums and/or costs? J5 might murder me if I decide to go that route in the end....
minimum matsui order is 100 plaques i think, but cost is only one first born human child.
Hmmm, no kids to offer. Damn.
doesn't necessarily have to be YOUR kid. get creative!
Wait. I can unload one of these monsters AND get chips in the process????minimum matsui order is 100 plaques i think, but cost is only one first born human child.

Those look really nice, Josh. Bold. Bright. Beautiful. christ, i sound like a laundry detergent commercial....
Not to last-minute derail your project, but have you considered the GOCC ceramic plaques (recessed center, with either rounded or angle-cut corners -- several sizes) or the MSK Gaming acrylic plaques (incredibly inexpensive, near-Matsui level quality, also in several sizes with no miniums) ?
If you haven't committed yet (or even if you have), they are worth checking out as viable options to the more-typical solid rounded-corner ceramic plaques. The MSK offerings (acrylics!) are particularly attractive, and only average around $4 each.
Like it! Is that the 82mm?
Any update on this idea? Did you have the plaques made. It's a sweet concept.
