Custom Emx's? (Different Colored skin and LED Lights)

TomElectronica · Post by **TomElectronica** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 11:14 am

Hey all.
On the odd occasion whilst looking at other people electribe videos I sometimes see strange things like orange electribes with purple lights amongst over colors.
At first I thought they just messed with their camera settings but now
I've learnt that there's some kind of sticker over lay or something you can perchance and by the same process change the color of the LED lights, however,
no one as of now is yet to shown me where they got anything from so if anyone knows where these guys are buying stuff to get there EMX to be a bit more customized could you let me know, thnakies :£

I haven't use them myself, but from reading forums some people think they're overpriced. I think the prices look OK. I'd be interested to see what you do if you get them to make a cover :)

Also be aware that it seems that the image you send them gets edited and the colors end up looking different then expected...

that could be due to people not using screens and software that it properly calibrated for prepress work, so it doesn't come out the same on another computer. or maybe styleflip just like to botch people's art

Mr. Styleflip (or Ms?), while you are here, may I ask you if you can do clear (transparents) stickers with the EMX markings in black or white color?

I'd like to apply watertransfer on my EMX, but if I do this i'll loose the texts... so i'd like to add the transparent sticker label on the watertransfer... what do you think?

Mr. will do. We can't do transparent, because it would just be the vinyl and it would be permanent and probably mess up your gear. We print our images on our 3M removable adhesive and then laminate them, and the adhesive is white.

Ok understood, same process we use here for my company's products. I'll investigate silkscreen option then...
Thanks for the reply

I got a Style flip for my Electribe SX and while I prefer it to the red/pink default colour, i wasn't overly impressed that the holes generally didn't line up too well.

One good point, no one seemed to have played about with the colours, it was exactly the same as the original artwork I submitted.

Hi Styleflip

Thanks for the offer. While it was out I can live with it, it's nothing major for me and it still looks a whole lot better than it did!

P-E, did you find anything out about silkscreening?

I would like to keep some of the text on my machine also.
