Printed legends
For medium volume or short runs
Virtually any character, symbol or pattern which
can be photographed can be printed on the
button. Grayhill uses epoxy ink which bonds to
the surface of the button.
The legend can be printed on either of two
surfaces: the top surface of a one-piece button,
or the internal surface on the snap-on cap style
for maximum wear.
The typestyle chart shows the style and the
approximate limitations of Grayhill's standard
type. However, limitations differ with the surface to
be printed and the actual characters to be used.
If your legend exceeds the chart limits, contact
Grayhill for more information. Unless specified,
black legends are printed on white buttons.
additional ink Color: White ink is stocked for
use on dark colored buttons.
additional Button Colors: For a molding
charge, we can provide buttons from other colors
which we may have in stock, such as black,
red, green, blue, or yellow. Non-stock button/ink
colors may require minimum material purchase.
To order, or to check currently stocked colors,
contact Grayhill.
molded-in legends
For high volume production
For legends that will stand up to abuse and
constant wear for the life of your keyboard,
use molded-in legends. The two-shot molding
process molds the legend and button together.
Your special legend can be made from existing
Grayhill molds or we can tool special ones.
Buttons are available with black legends molded
in white or other light backgrounds, or with white
legends molded into dark backgrounds. See
Printed Buttons, Additional Button Colors. To order,
contact Grayhill.
