t!ng's little collection

I am pretty sure that the legends on the ANK 27 are dye-sub, just like the ANK 25. The keycap shape and profile looks to be the same between the two series, so I think it's a fair bet that the printing method is also the same.

That's also what I think. The wiki states that the legends are double shot, I'm no expert but there's no trace of several different colours on the keys' down side, only a single thick block of plastic.

I'll ammend that, anyone who insists on the opposite will have to provide proof

BTW I have the complete set - keyboard, computer (M300-02), monitor, printer, and even mouse

Nice. Got any pics?
Sorry to intrude on your thread, t!ng! Welcome back by the way. You seem to have bursts of activity followed by short hiatuses.

Yes, I tend to mostly read rather than write stuff here ^^ Good observation skills mister =)

Hehe, I'll post some when I have the keyboard ready - right now I'm applying peroxide to the keycaps to remove the yellowing, and the way I'm doing it it takes forever to get results. The hardware is in great condition, I only had the keyboard and the mouse but just recently someone found the rest in the flea market and I bought it from him. It all looks like new, the pieces of plastic covering the back side of the ISA slots are still in place as the computer was never expanded in any way.

I wish Olivetti was still making computer hardware today. The designers were top notch and everything they made distilled class and style, but also functionality. Nowadays "design" means Apple and paper thin boards

Thank God we still have Matt3o
