Video transcript

  1. 0:00Chip colors are a reading system. Lock the map before the artwork.
  2. 0:05White one, red five, green twenty-five, black one hundred: that's convention, not law. Blue and yellow vary, so print values and post a key.
  3. 0:16Use fewer values than you think: three or four for cash, four or five for tournaments. Build one starting stack, multiply by seats, then add a bank.
  4. 0:27Give every value two cues. First, separate colors by lightness: switch the proof to grayscale, and risky neighbors like purple and black merge.
  5. 0:38Second, give each value its own edge-spot pattern, and print a big, plain numeral on the face and edge, so a stack reads side-on.
  6. 0:50Edge-to-edge printing puts color, spots and numerals in one artwork.
  7. 0:55Send your color map, counts per value and event date for a quote.
