I believe it is recessed. It feels that way as well as looks that way. In fact, I'm not sure what chips I have, if any, are actually linen. I was lumping the two together, much like you say the TCR does. You got me!

I am no expert on these things, but was just trying to give a comparison to show how satin differs. I was never quite sure how linen and recessed differed. I guess I learned something new, too. Do you have any scans to show linen v. recessed that are not quite so magnified as the chips Greg used? Do you know of any chip that had both linen and recessed versions? You see, now you got me wondering.
