Rage Faces keycap set for Cherry MX
Rage Faces keycap set is now on sale!
BTW, my IBM Selectric II went wrong and I cannot use it now. So I print shipping address by a laser printer for a while. I wish to repair but it seems hard...

Colemak + Japanese for IBM Model M
New keycap set is now on sale!
The layout is Colemak. Japanese (kana) layout is uncommon like Colemak, but it might be too geeky. Even most Japanese geek don't know the layout! Anyway, it's good for ornament.

NATO phonetic alphabet keycap set for Cherry MX
Now on sale!
3 pt for Georgia font is too small... Roman type's thin line is almost invisible. Emacs keycap set will be a bit more readable.

Test of new jigs and Emacs keycaps
With my old jigs, front side of keycap warps when I print on front side. Now I'm trying to improve it.
My new jigs:
They enforces keycaps while printing.
The result:
Zero warp!
BTW I'm making Emacs keycaps:
Small letters are 3.6 pt. They are ornamental things, of course. But I feel the typography isn't best.
I found a problem:
Two green legends should be the same color. New jigs caused temperature inconsistency! I should try another way...

New packing material
Model M keycap has fragile stem.
In order to prevent damage during shipment, I got this.
Paper tube. The size is enough to keycap.
Wrap a keycap in paper...
And store in paper tube.
This is the most secure packing as far as I can imagine.

IBM Model M keycap custom printing service
I'll start IBM Model M keycap custom printing service at September 4.
Printing image:
Single keycaps:
Top: 283 x 319 px
Front: 354 x 295 px. Actual printable size is trapezoid, top side length is 283 px.
ANSI full set: Fill this template like below.
Color of single keycaps:
Beige and gray are in stock.
You can order any color which is available from Unicomp, but I'll add all the funding cost to the bill.
Limitation:
I cannot print any color lighter than printed keycap itself. Gray keycap doesn't have any color ligher than gray.
Printed color is NOT the same color in the source image. Keycap color affects. The effect is similar to Photoshop's multiply.
Price:
Print on top and front both:
Single keycaps (1 - 21 pcs): $28.50 + $1.50 for each pcs. Gray keycap requires additional charge $0.50.
ANSI full set: $260
Print on top or front only:
Single keycaps (1 - 21 pcs): $19 + $1 for each pcs. Gray keycap requires additional charge $0.50.
ANSI full set: $180
Shipping cost:
Single Keycaps:
The item price is $50 and less: $3
The item price is over $50, or if you wish tracking: $7
ANSI full set: $20 - 34 depending on shipping address

Two heavy blows
Today I found my printer head has been dead.
It is only $60 but I bought it last December... I've ordered it again. This is R&D.
And today I found the difference of Unicomp and original.
Left is original Model M 1991 keycap. Right is recent Unicomp's. I prepared replica legend, but it doesn't work...
Anyway, Model M keycaps will be on sale around 4 September.
