Would anyone be interested in this? Does Signature Plastics stock a good cyan and a good magenta or would we have to do a custom color order off of pantone?
-
Interests.
-
Let's pretend I need to see a mock up of how this might look before I express interest.....Who am I kidding? Of course I'm interested.
-
Yes please. Interested for sure.

Here is what I have for Pantone colors:
Cyan - 16-4529, 3115C, 319C, 3252C, 3255C
Magenta - 226C, possibly one called magenta C.
Yellow - 803C, 102C, or 3945C
The only issue with new colors from Signature Plastics is getting enough of a sale to use the material to warrant a purchase. If we added in CMY colored spacebars and other keys to the DSA CMYK set then it would probably not be hard to hit an order large enough for the new custom colors. Gamer kits could even be done to help make it happen.

CMYK DSA spacebar :eek:

Please no DSA... please?

Here's some scans of their ABS and PBT color rings with blues.

Interesting...
-
When it comes to doing an RGB, I don't care as much about which red, green, and blue are used because there is a little room to play with colors. However cyan and magenta are very specific colors and I think SP doesn't have either one. Some people have also complained about their yellow options so I am not opposed to looking into a better solution for that color as well.
-
BFV looks fairly cyan.
-
Daniel you planning on this CMYK to be as complete as Ivans right?
-
I love the CMYK set from GMK / Ivan. It'd be great to have another chance at CMYK.

That is PBT so unless SP decides they can doubleshoot the legends we want in PBT, or we utilize dye sublimation, that one is a no go.

Yea I don't see why not. Maybe even a touch more elaborate with some matching escapes and other goodies. I personally don't want "Alt Gr" keys, but if others do we can add it on in addition to two regular "Alt" keys. Maybe even do a general CMYK with DCS profile simultaneously. Also speedy.
-
i would like blank CMYK kits in pbt which would be nice with the DSA set from SP.
-
btw Daniel something needs to be done with the DSA stem problem, hope Druger and Dololigato can get things fixed before their GB goes into production. Someone needs to have a talk with SP rep.

What is the problem? I have not really had issues with my retro set

there is a thread regarding people complaining the keycap getting so stuck to the cherry stem that when they try to pull it out the pull out the whole top of the switch.

Seconded.
With the RGB Black & White PBT sets, and the blank DSA Dolch set coming, there are a lot of blank DSA boards out there to warrant this.
Since DSA in't contoured, you could put the 1 unit CMYK caps in any row. You could get unicorn vomit everywhere.
-
I like this idea
-
So bad news for PBT lovers, SP currently only has the ability to sublimate on 1 space, 1.5 space and 2 space key caps so it will have to be ABS.
Good news is, with Esc keys, gamer sets, spacebars, and the actual DSA and DCS CMYK packs we should be able to get custom order color cyan, magenta, and yellow. I'll ask around for some mockups and maybe we can combine it in with a fade group buy.
-
Interested :D
-
Combining with the Fade...not a bad idea. Really wish it was PBT, though. :'( Probably still in, regardless. :rolleyes:

well, blank pbt could be made (depends on how many people want them)

I would buy a set of blank DSA PBT CMYK.
-
Hmm...yes, blank pbt would be awesome. Do want.
-
Yes but to get the custom color we need to sell a LOT of the material. For just a small quantity of blanks we would have to use the colors SP already has and they will potentially not look as good as the double shots with custom pantone accurate cyan and magenta. Now if we do a "fade" set for 60% boards where black is on the top and bottom rows, and the middle three rows go from cyqan to magenta to yellow, then we can do the other keys as well.
I need to get some mock ups made I think.
-
Interested but it's there a mock up or example ? :D
-
This color scheme is super sick with it.

See Signature plastics own color ring pictures at http://keycapsdirect.com/colors.php
Note color can definitely depend on your monitor or their camera.

Neither pbt or abs has a good magenta, and cyan is questionable. I would rather order off of the pantone number and get exactly the color we want.
-
Interested.
-
Interested.
me too :p
-
Definitely in for this if it happens.
-
I did not see this sooner! That doesn't make me not interested, though... I am definitely interested. Hit me with them juicy details!
-
Can I get some renders in here please!!!
Please!
-
Interested.
-
Interested, depending on price (as always :P )
-
Interested.
Has anyone tried DSA keycaps mixed with cherry profile at all? Would these be noticeably higher or lower?

I would be all over a pbt dsa edox set. Not really sure which keys though.
-
I'm interested in this set, for sure.

Hmm thanks ;D
These would be sick in PBT by the way. Don't even care if we don;'t get legends if it's PBT.

I also think spacebars in CMY would be a cool idea too.

Interested!

I would be keen to resurrect this topic. Anyone still interested?

Would you be hosting the GB yourself? Showing interest for a dead interest check doesn't mean anything if there's no one to carry the torch.

yes! interested
