I found out today from the plotter, there is also radium available for those who would like glow in the dark stickers. It would cost $3 for a sheet though as it is expensive material.

Also tried cutting OHP, didn't work, problem is the vinyl or any material put through the plotter needs some reinforcing back surface to hold it in place while the design is cut. If there is no adhesive, the vinyl goes heywire and cut be cut. Same goes for the OHP sheet.

Can someone in the US, help with this:

But I support the metallic colours. I like purple, blue, white and black. :)

this is still an IC, so no orders yet.
(even though there is imo more than enough interest to start a GB, but I think that they are looking for metallic stickers right now.)

Yeah I just realized what forum this is in.  I just clicked the link in his signature.  How embarrassing.

Is there a timeline for confirming orders and making payment? Also does anyone else think at these prices it'd be a good idea to do up some GH stickers?
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

God damn it, no GH stickers. I hate GH stickers. Aargh, I should have known someone would recommend it.  :mad:

I be getting them made, it was supposed to be one of the extras, brushed silver "geekhack" 60mm x 12mm stickers, these would have release (Area around sticker not needed removed and a clear tape added on top to peel the sticker stick ti somewhere and then remove the tape) and be ready to stick as there are separated letters, so it would be too hard to align by hand for each member. You'll get a couple. :D

Damn you bueller! Oh well, there are yet other surprises too, which I know, noone will guess. :)

Oh, and I have added price for cut stickers that require release to the OP, $0.1 per sq inch, reduced prices on custom stickers! :D

Bueller, timeline is mentioned in the OP.

I know there is enough to go for a GB, however I am waiting on getting feedback from jdcarpe before I start the GB.

I found out that the vinyl is 3.5mil. Adhesive is good enough IMO, design is perfect, so almost 100% sure that it should pass inspection.

Meanwhile I am looking for colored metallic and sparkle vinyl. If someone in the US can help me by making a call to the paper street plastics and getting em an email so I can contact them, it would be great! I am still hunting local solutions if any.

Most likely GB would be up up in 10-15days, depending on time it takes for package to reach jdcarpe, this should give good estimate on shipping time as well.

Can't wait for this to happen!  Plus custom stickers--definitely getting a few!

Will the custom stickers be made all of the same color, or is that Pickachu design representative of the fact that they can be colorized to match the design?  And also they would be made of the same vinyl or something different? (Just trying to figure out adhesion strength).

Forgive my ignorance... I have a Poker II but I haven't opened it up... is the Poker II plate mounted? As I understand, plate mounted keyboards wouldn't benefit much from these right?

For printed designs, design will be printed just as you do on a home printer, it is essentially inkject printer with special ink and printing from industrial printer. So colors would be as close they can be. For plotted stickers, they can be whatever color vinyl you want. This would be of the same grade vinyl as other vinyl used for switch sticker, except one that can be printed on. Adhesion should be quite good, given how these vinyls are generally are used for automotive decoration or signages, so they can take a beating in harsh weather as well.

Yes it is plate mounted and no unless you get a plate for the poker 2 which allows for switch top removal you would have to completely desolder to open switches to apply these and then resolder.

Well basically, you would need to desolder your switches to open them. Way too much trouble in my opinion just to sticker the switches. If it had a special custom plate that allows for opening the switches without desoldering it would be different, but no stock keyboard has these.

If yes, I'll add it to OP as list of available custom stickers, so we can increase the numbers.

The face and hand should have no material on it. Like on the picture, it's white.

Samples ready to be sent to jdcarpe.

Note, the geekhack logo, is release ready, it has tape on top to stick to whatever surface. Also spider, doesn't look so good after the cut and most likely will be canceled, this is not set in stone, I will wait for input from jd.

Updated OP with the colors, man that was tiring, this is as correct as I can get them.

Fluorescent colors aren't scanned properly but I hope you'll get the idea of what color they are, real bright like safety orange.

I don't know anything about wood grains, so if someone can identify the grains, please help me do so.

So the colors posted are the final colors, in the sense that there won't be additional versions of metallic or glittery kinds? 
If you are looking to get a poll of people's opinion on popular colors, perhaps you could add a google form to submit with color selection and sheet count.

PM replied, yes those are all the greens that are available. If you want some other color feel free to link me to it (Must ship to India), pricing would be vinyl cost + $0.5/sheet excluding shipping.

NO, these are not the final colors, these are the ones available locally, I can get the metallic colors and sparkling ones, those sheets would cost around $3-$4 depending on numbers with MOQ of around 30-40 sheets.

I've been trying to call Paper Street Plastics, but they didn't answer the phone. They are the best dealers for vinyl online.

If we don't reach that MOQ, can we order smaller sheets from somewhere else for a slightly higher price?
