UpdateHello friends, I have good, bad, and really good news regarding the sample kit.
Bad newsThe samples sent to me used 5-sided dyesub on the R3, R4, and R5 mods which affected the color on R3 and R5, which made the color unacceptable.
Good newsThe dyesub legend color was good and the legends are clear. The blues are beautiful imo and the legend color is cohesive. While the R3 mods have legibility issues, I do believe that (a) that was always a reality with this design, and (b) using the color sample I approved originally will reduce this issue.
Really good newsI have spoken to kbdfans and epbt has agreed to use injection molding, NOT 5-SIDE DYESUB, for the entire set. I have approved the set for production, and we are officially in-queue for production.
Here's a link to photos of the samples. Please remember that R3 and R5 mod colors are off.
