[IC] PBT Flower Journal - A Botanical Classic

[mariajose1197]

Introducing my first creation in collaboration with MrBingo: ''PBT Flower Journal'' Immerse yourself in the nostalgic charm of vintage botanical books every time you type. Designed to capture the elegance of classic botanical illustrations, these keycaps bring a touch of nature's beauty to your keyboard.

Status:

Manufacturing:
We have two options.
1-Dobleshot with UV
2-PBT dye sub

We are currently very inclined to go with PBT dye sub. We are going to be reaching out to different manufacturers and make a decision based on that.

Colors: We have used the pantone guide book and we are ordering the phisical plastic chips and once we get them. It will be added to the post.

Cool set! I would suggest adding some details about manufacturing though - I imagine this is dyesub? Any idea who the manu will be? Color codes?
Also you have two R2 1.5u pipe keys, you can remove one.

Also 2x R4 1u Fn
Would suggest 1.5 "Backspace" legend instead of "<- Back" as well.

This is fun but I think it should just be dyesub instead of GMK. GMK uv printing can slightly stretch and drift during printing and I think it would be especially noticeable on the fine details of this set.

I also think adding numpad “subs” would make the set look more balanced on a full sized board

GLWIC!!

GMK uv printing can slightly stretch and drift during printing and I think it would be

Also gmk uv printing is far more faded colour wise than the doubleshot colouring so the colours won't match if you are trying to do that (which seems like are) I remember someone showing me gmk hooty in person at the melbourne meetup and the sublegend did not look the accent colourwise.

I agree that regular dye sub (or maybe even a tripleshot manu if they can do that) might be a better alternative. GLWIC

Those sublegend designs definitely don't meet doubleshot/tripleshot tolerances, it'd need to be UV print or dye-sub

Yeah I had a feeling that it would be too complicated to work but still put the idea anyway, don't know too much about keycap tolerances and such to know 100% that cause I've never really looked into it. Then dye sub will be the best option personally.

Thanks for telling me/thread

Great thematic! I'll be keeping an eye out! GLWIC!

hello, we have updated the Manu and the colors, and thank you for spot de double pipe key, I hadn't noticed!

[MrBingo]

Also 2x R4 1u Fn
Would suggest 1.5 "Backspace" legend instead of "<- Back" as well.

thanks I hadn't noticed about the FN key, and the 1.5 backspace key, we will take it into consideration, thanks!

[mariajose1197]

Thank you to the people so far who have showed their appreciation for the set.

We have two options for the set:
Dobleshot with UV
PBT dye sub
We are currently very inclined to go with PBT dye sub. We are going to be reaching out to different manufacturers and make a decision based on that.

We are making  the kitting changes that have been suggested.

Thanks all!

hello! taking into consideration all the other people's comments we are inclined to do it pbt dyesub, and thanks for the numpad idea, we will see what we can do, thanks!

Does GMK do PBT dyesub?

Nice set!
not to mension, very unique.

[stidal]

super super cute. looking forward to more manufacturer info :]

[vhaarr]

Please stay away from enjoyPBT/ePBT at least. I only have one set from them and it's not good. Perhaps they have improved since, but I wouldn't know.

I'll keep eye on that! 

[EdgeOfInfinity]

i think this is a very strong concept, looking forward to seeing samples. dye-sub is prob going to be the best execution in this case i would think

[lkkedward]

any color codes

Wood look good with a good wood board <3

Awesome It seems to me that doubleshot in this case will hold up better and look better over time. And I love this bow, connecting with nature is always a plus. It would go very well with my small library and eco-style room.
I like having paper books, even though they didn't help me write my personal statement for college. I used https://edubirdie.com/personal-statement-writing-service that time. I found the perfect balance for my spirit and mind.

[Alvi]

This looks really nice. I'd have a preference for doubleshot as well. Lovely design!

[EdgeOfInfinity]

doubleshot means the (very detailed) subs will be UV printed, potentially more likely to rub off over time.
