Printing or manufacturing method describes how the legends and artwork are made. It is separate from the plastic material and keycap profile.
Dye-sublimation
Dye-sub uses heat to transfer dye into the keycap’s plastic surface. It is commonly used for printed legends and illustrated designs.
Double-shot
Double-shot molding uses two plastic components to form the shell and legend. It is a different process from printing artwork with dye.
What to check on the product page
- Confirm the listed production method.
- Look at the kit image for the actual legends and artwork.
- Check whether shine-through lighting is explicitly supported; do not infer it from the method alone.
For questions about a particular design, contact us with the keycap set’s name.
