Tina Hybrids best in class? (1 Viewer)

[Baxit]

Hey,
I read here and there people praising some (but not all) Tina hybrids, with nice inlay centering and fitting, etc. In your opinion, what are some outstanding Tina hybrids (or plains such as EPT) in 39mm and 43 mm size?

My personal opinion because I owned both
Tina webmold and EPT
Ept are lesssssssssss slippery…….
Tina hybrid had a great option to customize the inlay

Again

Personal opinion

I agree with Pippa. Sounds like you definitely should get samples to see for yourself!

I have two different tina hybrid sets (both in 39mm). I just received a tangiers set last week and it looks and feels amazing. However, my web mold set I got about a year ago is still my favorite. I can't explain any better than that I just prefer their look, feel, and sound.

The only other Tina mold I've handled isn't hybrid, but cards mold. These are more inexpensive and get the job done as a poker chip, but I won't order these again as long as the aforementioned hybrids are available.

My only issue is that color matching on labels will never be an exact science.... but that's true of any hybrid. Not just Tinas.

Noob here - why are they referred to as hybrids?

A traditional ceramic chip has a flat face that is printed directly, and a traditional clay chip has an inlay pressed into it. A ceramic hybrid has a printed outer face, but also has a recess where a separate, high-detailed label is attached in the center.

So it’s like a little of both types of chips.

If you are a hot stamp guy it’s the worst of both worlds, lol.
