Idea: Process Printing, Pre-print Process, CMYK Separation
This set is based on printing process that use Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black color (CMYK) as a standard recipe that is utilized in many types of printing machinery to attain diverse variation of colors in print industry. The process of prepress stage involves digital artwork being transferred to negative films for each CMYK colors and undergo several procedures until they are ready to be printed to papers or other media. Many of the text modifier legends are related to prepress and print process terms that many graphic designers or those who work in press industry are familiar with, instilled into this keycap set with mixture of CMYK accents and contrasting child kits that will visually enhance the overall looks of your keyboard.

July 22, 2020:
The Mount/shift key size that is on the base kit pic (bottom left key)
(https://i.imgur.com/5UFjScm.png)
It is 1.75 not 2.00 (the render is correct, my bad on labeling it as 2.00 instead of 1.75)
This is already informed to the vendors and will be informed to manufacturer.
Thank you for a customer who notified this!
Also,
Information about sales numbers per today are up in the second post.

Awaiting Color Samples
GMK will send color samples somewhere in December. Will post here once I received them!
-
March 2 Update
- First round of color matching is complete. All except Y (yellow) color is approved. Asking for 2nd round color matching for that specific Yellow color.
- I haven't received any information on the 2nd color sample (which is Yellow). No news nor delivery notice for this one :frowning:
- Apparently (?) several other GMK keysets suffer this kind of problem as well (especially in color matching stage)
- This certainly causes delay, so the ETA of Q1 2021 might be pushed back.
Please join my discord server for more detailed information (color matching pics, etc.)
-
April 27 Update
- 2nd batch of color sampling (the yellow color) has arrived.
- They are approved!
I have sent back the approval note to manufacturer. This means all colors are approved now, and waiting for the final production phase.
-
just copied the discord photos here, as I enjoy this set so much,
marked the approved colors with a small red circle.
-
Looking nice
-
Hi everyone. Not exactly a huge update but:
Hopefully GMK will be shipping our sets mid-November. I really hope we get ours before Christmas.
Will post more exact update once we get a more exact info.
Sorry for the delays :(
-
