Uv reactive vci-100 3_0 overlays that lighten under black light
Hi everybody,
i would like to make a request to the soon released brand new vci 3_0 overlays.
PLEASE make the new gold and white labeled overlays uv reactive, so the labeling will lighten under black light for much more better recognition in dark environments.
Anyone that thinks, this is also a great idea and a big plus for the djtechtools vcis please give me +1
I sent DJ TT an email about the idea of illuminated arcade buttons just the other day. I received a reply yesterday…
"All of the LED lit arcade buttons on the market are too large to fit inside of the VCI-100, the only alternative is to hack up a rig of your own LEDs that light up - one of our users done this in our forum here - AM VCI mod (DIY?) - Page 3
The mod wasn’t easy at all and its not practicle for us to replicate this mod on the official DJTT because of the expense that would come from all the work involved. We have also tested these arcade buttons in house and found them not to be as good as the arcade buttons that come shipped with our VCI-100 SE Arcade Button Editions."
Seems like it can’t happen
unless you choose to mod it yourself of course
bad news guys- the UV reactive ink didn’t work out so good for this batch of overlays. The white reacts but the orange/gold did not react so well. The only truly reactive colors are limited to 3 fairly common colors that dont look very good and are not very visible in regular light. We are working to find a solution but this first batch of 3_0 overlays will not have reactive text for all writing.
Meh… thats too bad, just means I’ll have to push back purchasing a new overlay for a bit. I will probably stick with the old mapping for a bit, until people work out everything with the new one.
I’m pretty stoked about the choice of colors, although bummer about the reactive ink! Maybe I’ll finally invest in arcade buttons + a new arcade overlay once you get things worked out!
