What isGMK Paper?
A classy black (CR) on white (WS1) cherry profile set with clean legends (graciously borrowed 9009).
Why?
With all the colorful new keebs coming out (M60-A anyone?), I thought people might love a nice neutral GMK set.
Renders
I got excited and ordered some renders from janglad. I have since collaborated with jebbra on some of the kit, so these are mostly just for show – there will be more keys in the actual base set.

Also, as some people have pointed out, the renders might a tad creamier than actual WS1. Here’s a link to a WS1 (Blue on White) set for comparison. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=82308.msg2252234/#msg2252234
Proposed Kits
These are screenshots copied from KLE – the actual legends will be match the renders (9009 style Icon/Text mix).
Base (Updated 6.3)

Tried to support a variety of layouts since this is such a standard color way. NOTE: the 2u, 2.25u and 2.75u spacebars/*
/*sumbitted for quotes to GMK along with a few other options. See the kits submitted here https://imgur.com/a/gZNQz5w
Accent

Mostly Jebbra’s creation, this accent kit is inspired by color proofing, tying into the loose ‘Paper’ theme. It leverages the fact CMYK mods and spacebars are already widely available (I believe Originative often has them in stock). The keys will be N5 (cyan) MG1 (magenta) CV (yellow) and CR (black). The legend will be CR for all. NOTE: The legends are currently incorrect, and I think we will need to tweak the CR on CR some.
Also, if there’s enough demand, I’d like to see about adding a watser to this kit, or perhaps a set of CMYK on White watsers… ;) (Have not heard demand, so I’m tabling the issue)
What next?

  • Gather feedback / judge interest Currently, tweaking the base kit – updated layouts soon!
  • Submit the proposed kits to GMK for pricing – We are currently waiting for quotes from GMK! See the album of proposed kits here https://imgur.com/a/gZNQz5w
  • Discuss timing – I know there’s a lot of cherry profile running right now, so we can postpone til a dry season if necessary
    Anyway, thanks everyone for taking a look. Feedback is welcome!
  • P.S.* Shoutout, to janglad, fishpod and jebbra for helping make this IC happen :)
