Hi Paul

Where did you get them from?

Are they a standard plectrum or is there something special in these? I have about 1000 here that I have never printed because I have not had the time, but would be interested.

From what I can gather, they need to be pressed on both sides otherwise they lose their shape, is this the same with yours?

nature of material will cause warping so after pressing you need to put something heavy on them. this do the trick.

they are special as they can be sublimated :) and they cost les then standard blank on uk market :) it looks like everything is £1 or more :)

those cost about 2,5p each :) so i think there can be good mark up on them if someone is on right market. bands etc...
problem is that picks are easy to scratch as the nature of use :)

I think of "selling" idea to premium members :)

Does the print scratch off -is that what you're saying? - so it's more of a coated material, rather than pure polymer? so the coating scratches off along with the print when used?

it does not real matter in this case as with descent playing guitarist any print will rub off.
