Title: Front printed
Post by: colinm478 on Sun, 22 December 2013, 09:54:04
Does anyone know of a way to get front printed PBT thick keys? I love the look of the Filco Ninja but I want to upgrade to PBT. If I can't find them, I'll just get normal printed keys, just checking because I'm picky.

Imsto's store is always a good place to check. Here you go: http://imsto.cn/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=59

Edit: Oops, I misread. I'll keep looking…

Edit2: Shoot, I thought these were readily available but I'm having trouble finding them.

I'm looking into this option, with laser legend, for my black PBT buy.

Totally possible on our side, can do a variety of printing options, although only ABS for now.

That would be ideal. I am signing up for the black on black if I can't find black front printed. If you were able to get those, I would be eternally grateful.

I bought a set of thick pbt front printed from imsto last year. Last time I checked with him (about 2 months ago) he did not have them in stock anymore.  They are my daily driver and still my favourite caps.

Have a read through this thread:

Looks like Vortex are offering thick PBT blank, front and top printed with a decent font in both OEM and Cherry profile! Apparently ISO has been released already, not sure about ANSI.

I'm looking into this option, with laser legend, for my black PBT buy.

Hmmm.... I may have to add a few sets to my order if this pans out!  :D
