Thanks! I'll go for Izo Half brights

My Panchi Pre-order came with Izo half brights. The orange is not the same orange that comes with cubesmith halfbrights.

Cubesmith is Oracal Fluorescent Red-Orange
Izo's was Oracal Fluorescent Orange.

Pros: they were free
Nice quality material
The coolest logo of them all
You get 2 sets
Free shipping

Cons:
The size was a little smaller than I'd like.
Some of the faces had scratches like the blade was hitting the face as it moved to a new group.

Spoiler

Some faces had cut problems like the blade ended in the wrong spot and the end didn't connect with the beginning.

Can anyone show the difference between IZO HB orange and CS HB orange?

I based my choice on this video:

Though when buying Izo you can choose any colour you want for the set. You don't have to stick to the pre-chosen Half-Bright set Izo sells.

I've also had my Maru 4x4 stickered with Izos for a month. I've solved it alot and I'd say I'm much more aggressive with the solves, which would mean a higher likelihood for the stickers to chip, but none have chipped at all so far. I also had no quality problems in my stickers.

Thanks! I think I'll stay with the original half brights, or maybe buy some Izo's favourites

Transfer tape Stickers

Guys, which companies 3x3 stickers(Like Cubesmith standard color) that can be put on my Zhanchi with 'transfer' tape rather than one by one?(The larger the sticker on the Zhanchi the better.)

 

[windhero]

Well Izo-stickers look like they are fitted, but since they sell the same stickers for 55/57mm there is no guarantee that it'll work.

Thecubicle.com sells especially fitted (for the zhanchi) stickers for one http://thecubicle.us/sticker-picker-57mm-c-66_87.html
(scroll down, theres a "Fitted" section)

The fitted stickers don't fit if you use transfer tape. Just a warning.

fitted means they have the little cuts in the corner stickers, and the other stickers are rounded too.
it "fits" the shape of the dayan cube's pieces.

before applying i looked at it a bit and compared... there was no way application tape would work for it.
maybe on a 55mm cube it would fit though... but then the stickers would be too big.

Just apply them one by one, then the fitted will fit.

Izo and Cubesmith both sell both colors, It's just a matter of what comes standard in a half bright set.

Izo's halfbright set includes Florescent Orange. Cubesmith calls it Bright Orange.
Cubesmith's half bright site includes Florescent Red-Orange but calls it Florescent Orange. Izo calls it Florescent Orange-red

Spoiler

2 sets of Izo cost US$3:95
2 sets of CS cost US$6.70 /shipping

a no-brainer considering you can get any colors you want..

I ordered some vinyl stickers from PUZL along with my Zhanchi so that I could replace the peeling stickers on my Rubik's brand. Today I started putting the stickers on the first three faces of the cube (the other three go tommorow!) and I'd say they're looking pretty sturdy. My only comment is that they're translucent, which is a bit offputting, but they look good once they're on the cube.

Where can I get a replacement Rubik's logo to put on?

You mean a Rubik's brand logo?

I don't think you can buy them, but you could try printing out the logo from this image this after resizing it to fit the cube center and then printing it out, cut the logo out and attach it to the cube center but it wouldn't last long and not look that good. I don't really think the logo is that necessary in my opinion.

Here you go https://www.rubiks.com/shop/product.php?pid=28 but I highly recommend not using them due to the fact that there lower quality then Oracal Vinyl stickers from cubesmith

hello guys i am looking for half bright stickers for my guhong v2.
where can i get them for ~$2 with shipping included.

 

[windhero]

Nowhere. Cheapest I know of is Izo's @ $3.95 for 2 sets. It's under $2 per set, but you can't order stickers for only 1 cube. They sell always 2 per set.

Yeah. I use Izo halfbrights on all my cubes and the orange is way nicer. If you want to use Izo halfbrights with Cubesmith stickers, just replace fluro orange with bright orange and it's exactly the same.

I still can't choose what shades to go for... Half brights, Izo's favourites or super brighs... I need help with this.

I'm thinking HB, but Izos fav. are basically the same but with a lighter blue... I wish I could see black cubes incheckerboard patterns, one for all the 3 shade combinations

 

[windhero]

In this video I'll be comparing the following stickers:
Izo's Full/Super Bright stickers
Izo's Half Bright stickers
Izo's Favourite stickers
thecubicle.us Half Bright stickers

The cubes I'm using are a Florian/Konsta modded SS 4x4 v4, a white DIY FangShi ShuangRen and a black DIY FangShi ShuangRen with a C4U core.

What's the best way to apply stickers? Currently I'm using a small knife to place them as straight as I can, but often they're not perfect.
