Reply to comment by Benbenb1 in ~2 years waiting for the keycaps! Finally arrived this week. by Human133

Color matching takes an ungodly and sometimes unreasonable amount of time. Idk if it was KAT Mizu or GMK Red Dragon that was color-matched 3 or more times, and each time it took like 3-6 months turnaround time. Plus covid. Plus something wrong happening in the factory, etc etc. Plus, idk anymore ._.

Ok, but this was a freakin R2, shouldn't color matching be already sorted out?

Gmk red dragon isn't r2, neither is Kat mizu afaik. Kat mizu had a diff mfg.

How the actual fuck does it take 3-6 months to print a keycap set and look at it to figure out if it's the right colour or not? That shit should take maybe 10 minutes after printing which itself should only take a couple hours depending on the method used.

Idk man. But from what I was told and what I inferred, the process basically is the creator asks for samples. Then the mfg makes them and sends to the creator. Then the creator looks at them, says that so and so color does not match their specs, the font is too weird, the color bleeds, there's some issue with the whatever, etc. Then the mfg does it all over again. And everytime takes a long time coz there's probably a bunch of the mfg's own orders + a hundred other GBs that's also doing the same thing +the order fulfillment of another hundred GBs.
