[IC] Purple and Cream White coloured keyset. Blueberry Cheesecake

[zennasyndroxx]

Had your first slice of blueberry cheesecake? How does it taste? Yummy? Recall the color purple and cream cheese?

If you can answer the questions above, then this set is for you!

Inspired by the absence of purple and white/cream colored set, with the topping of Cherry legends, this piece of cake would not go wrong!

RDA for the purple - The yummy blueberry
WCK for the creamy white - The delicious cream cheese.

There will surely be novelties and this keyset will be in ABS doubleshots with the DCS profile. If this set tips, there might be SA and DSA profiles coming to you

This is merely just a interest check. There will be lots of addon sets so that you can use it according to your current layout



Note: This cake is not edible. For kids of year 3 and above.

Update: Redone the mockup with Cherry legends (I've got permissions if anyone's wondering) of 87key set.

SP can not do PBT double shot So for double shot only ABS.
For PBT only dye sub (dark color on light PBT) and maybe pad printing (but pad printing sucks)

dayum. so the next logical thing is to have ABS doubleshot and PBT dyesubbed. But it's only for dark legends on light PBT and not otherwise?

pad printing is definitely out of the equation.

Thanks for the input Daniel! Next up is to think of which one is better, ABS doubleshot or PBT dyesub? lots of factor will come into consideration.

[DanielT]

Yep for PBT is only dark on light, does not work the other way
For crisp high contrast legends ABS double shot is the best. It would have been nice to have PBT DS but SP has not this technology.
For dye sub the legends creation is a huge endeavour , each legend must be designed individually (see matt3o's Granite GB). In the design of dye sub legends a lot of factors must be taken into consideration, there is the diffusion of the dye in the cap material so the legends must have clear lines etc... to avoid blurry prints. A good reading material is the IC for the Galaxy Class GB, norbauer explained each type of technology in detail,legend design, you can learn a lot by reading that one. I don't remember the exact post, but reading the thread will reveal it 
For DS for each profile there are some standard legends (for exanple in DCS profile you have Cherry legends) that are readily available, any other legend or novelty involves new tooling (extra costs, if I remember correctly the fee is $25 per new legend) and new design (SVG graphics for the legend).
L.E: This is the thread http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48839.0  and I found also the post http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48839.msg1097440#msg1097440

If you decide to go the dye sub road matt3o is the best person to ask for advice, he has a lot of experience in this area. I did only the Debian logo GB and it was a pain, only for a key but than again I'm not a graphic designer

Thanks Daniel for your input. Highly appreciated. I'll take a good read after work and hopefully I can gain a lot after this

It's unlikely well go down to PBT dyesub knowing that the colours wouldn't make it work. So we'll have to see what's people's thoughts about it. I'll run a few surveys for this interest check and hopefully there will be a set that the majority likes.

Also,  your debian keys are stunning

[DanielT]

You're welcome

The Debian swirl, credits go to the Debian community for the logo  ... I hope SP does a great job on these, and we will make sure they will

MX.

Hi there Grim. If you're asking whether is this MX Cherry compatible then I say it will be!

ABS DoubleShot is the only way to go with white on purple sets though at least for me,,,

I don't like pad printing

I don't think any enthusiast in the world would have the right mind to say that they like pad printing. haha so pad printing is definitely out of the equation

Changed the color to purple and cream cheese color, concept image is out.

[Oobly]

It could be possible to have doubleshot ABS purple keys with dyesub PBT cream cheese coloured. I think that would feel quite nice to type on if the DCS profile PBT caps are thick enough.

hmm, odd request but i think it's a good suggestion. if the overall cost of doubleshot abs mods in purple + dyesub cream cheese color (hopefully with purple legends) is around the price of going full doubleshot abs then this would be good! knowing that PBT wouldn't give out shine as compared to ABS and the alphas is the area that we use the most.

Also, this groupbuy wouldn't be as soon as I've planned it to be due to the groupbuys that's in PMK. I need to give way to others to do their groupbuy before mine. Besides, I'm still in the midst of designing the novelty sets for this set.

Thanks for the suggestion oobly! what do you guys think?

[taylordcraig]

Just wanted to throw this out there.

SP can do doubleshot PBT.

They sell arrow keys on PMK.
The wideness of these key's availability is unknown to me though.
It could be limited to just arrows.

yeah the arrows are in their keyshop but IMO it's limited to that only.

I've contact them previously about their availability on doubleshot PBT and they've mentioned that they couldn't do it.

oh well, back to square one.

It's look like Lily set ... or is there a problem with my eyes?

I got this a lot. What I see lily set is a lavender set. The purple I used is deeper purple. You can also say it looks like broset cause I got that a lot too hahaha. Anyways, the color looks like lily to you?

Thank you for your clarify. I have just doublechecked with my Lily set. The color is different lavender and deep purple - Yes, you are correct.

You're very welcome glad that I could help.

Sigh, so many ideas so less time. Not sure when will this set be on sp. Have yet to design any novelties.

Does this mean it didn't pass the interest check on PMK? This was a lovely combo.  :-(

Hey there, thank you for your interest. To be honest, im still designing the novelties for this set. And i might schedule this groupbuy to next year instead. First off, im afraid of the exposure not adequate enough and second, people would be saving their money buying christmas gifts and what not.

[moukimokyu]

If this set comes back sometime in the new year I'll definitely be interested in nabbing it
