Dye sublimation service
« on: Sun, 12 October 2014, 06:14:35 »
Hi guys! Just wanted to know how to print Cyrillic (red) legends on top of my SSK caps. I've thought there may be some dye sub service to ship my caps and get them back printed. Anybody knows?

I'd like to imagine Microsoft Windows with a board of these :p



I'm a bit fond of the Dreamcast one. Apologies for being OT.

What about buying my own printer? what about models? which one would be good to print on caps?

It's not an easy thing to accomplish, and expensive. You can read some details on the DecentKeyboards blog here

buying a dyesub printer is not a good idea

it's stupidly expensive unless you offer it as a service

even then, it's still really expensive

I actually almost bought a dyesub printer but they are extremely expensive and use up a ****ton of electricity.
