So in light of getting news that my xtant pcb and plate are going to be heading my way, I attempted to order a full set of blank black caps from unicomp. Well they didn't have the right shift and asked me if I wanted a different color for that one key. I asked if they were expecting to get any more in stick soon. The reply was they are not ever expecting to stock them again. All in all I suppose it is for the better, as every cap over a single unit had a $.50 surcharge, except for the space bar. This was also the only color with that as well. So this leads me to my next line of questioning.
1. If I put some red or "dark" blue stock caps in some black dye, would it be correct to think that I can pull them out early and get a very dark red or blue?
2. Would there be any real chance of getting splotchy color or otherwise bad effects?
3. What is the current dye of choice for pbt? As last I looked into this Rit had changed their formula and it doesn't work near as well anymore.
Any input here will be greatly appreciated. Pictures and links are always welcome.
