Just a question.
I'm ordering a new Zhanchi soon, and I'm wondering if the stock stickers that come with it are good quality and last long.

The standard Dayan stickers are good but alot of cubers don't like the Dayan shades. In the past my Dayan stickers didn't last that much after alot of use after a weeks worth of owning the cube.

I use white cubes so the colors contrast well

I agree with that and that is one reason why I also use white cubes.

I like Izo, Cubicle, and stock Moyu.

Does anybody know what's going on with Izo stickers? I've had 2 orders in since early August from Puzzle Addictions and they're still awaiting fulfillment. (Also, the prices for all the Izo stickers on Puzzle Addictions have changed to $0.00)

Is there somewhere else I can purchase them?

Try thecubicle.us

The one time I had cubesmith stickers they seemed to chip easily. Izo stickers and MOD Stickers both seem almost indestructible, though I have more experience with mod stickers.

Same thing is happening to me. I ordered some almost 2 months ago and nothing has happened. Very disappointing

 

[CheesecakeCuber]

Haha there should be stock Dayan stickers

What is better - vinyl stickers or tiles?

Most puzzles use vinyl stickers. Some puzzles use tiles. And the old Rubik's Cube used horrible stickers that had outer layers that peel off after about a month of use.

I think they did that to make the cube and stickers less expensive. The natural oils from your skin peel off the clear outer layers. When those outer layers are gone, the colorings on the main part of the sticker start fading and scratching away. The first Rubik's cubes used high quality vinyl stickers.

This is very, very, unfair. That is why Cubesmith was invented. Cubesmith allows you to replace LQ stickers with high quality vinyl stickers or tiles. And the newest Rubik's cube in existence uses tiles. No more old cheating "Can't solve the cube? Put the rubix cube in warm water and very gently, peel off the stickers. Now. paint each side its own color so that the cube is solved!". No more cheating.

Personally, I prefer stickers. But again, that personal belief.

Stickers for Dayan Zhanchi

Besides Cubesmith, what are some other good sticker brands? Also, which color variations are most popular?

 

[kunparekh18]

thecubicle.us stickers and Z-stickers from champion's cube store are very good, from what I've heard. The most popular colour variation, I guess, is half-bright stickers, but I don't like them at all. I prefer the standard shades.

Does anyone have a picture of Cubicle 50mm zhanchi stickers on the cube itself? Thanks.

 

[aboeglin]

Where can I get stickers that are similar to the ones the weilong comes with ? And what color would it be ? Bright or half bright ?
I like the brightness of the stickers on the weilong which allows to keep a good visibility in darker environments, even though I think the hue of the yellow is could be a little warmer, but quality wise I'm looking for replacement very soon, and being in Europe I'd need to order very soon if it needs to come from the US.

I'm going to revive this long dead thread by asking peoples' opinions on why the color scheme is blue/green, red/orange, and white/yellow. In choosing opposites, shouldn't we be looking for the biggest possible contrast? Wouldn't something like purple/flouro green and pink/orange be much better for that than what most cubes have now? Just thinking about it, this seems like it would be a significant advantage. On the outside, changing a color scheme to this seems like it would be very beneficial. If this is not a good idea, someone please explain why it's not. And if it is, then why do nearly all cubers use the standard color scheme? Is there a reason other than a dislike for restickering puzzles?
