Because depending on which way you want to label the keys, the R4/R1 keys will fit that area.

I still can't figure out if Row 1 refers to the function key row, the number key row, the spacebar row, etc.  It seems like different people use a different reference point.  Also, is there a Row 0?  I count six rows on my keyboard.

WASDkeyboards go from bottom to top

SP counts the other way round as far as i know.

The mod (ctrl/alt) row and the row above (zxcvb) are the same row/profile. Also number row and esc/function row are the same row/profile.

Yeah, Different people use different ways of counting the rows. Best to just state the keys that are on that row.

Ha yah I was wondering if there was a basic diagram of the rows because I get confused myself. I would think row 1 would be Function but not sure thats correct.

You need to note that putting that skin/brown color over a blue will result in a distorted color. Dyesub isn't >exactly< printing.

A very light blue can be ok, but white will give the best colors.

The reason why all dysubs are done in white (or near white) is because white contains no other color, so you can easily print colors on top of it. Having a blue cap to start with and printing dark brown + light brown on top of it won't come out to dark/light brown anymore.

Could you cheat it by putting the "skin" color to orange? Orange and blue = brown.

P.S. I also failed to read the whole OP.. I saw the art, saw the price, and proceeded from there (Didn't see they were to be Dye-Sub)

Yellow might blend nicely into the brown of the images, so It might not alter image too much. A good alternative to white imo.

But yeah, white pleases all and will give best colors for the image.
