After seeing a scan of a one-off sample of the re-manufactured keyring, I was
still unhappy with the clarity of the small 'P' on the back. While it was better,
it wasn't as good as I'd like.

It was explained to me that there was a limit of the precision of such things
due to the fact that it is a raised section with fine detail (meaning that in
the die, it is a lowered section with fine detail).

The problem being that the die strikes the metal with about 90 tons of pressure,
and anything with detail that fine risks some 'blurring'.

Rather than have some lack of detail, I have asked them to remove the little 'P'
from the back entirely. I don't think this is a major problem since the front of
the keyring has a larger 'P' anyhow.
