Its usually boots and braces which is the problem. PRO teams dont change the whole graphics every race on a race day, but as Barry mentioned you can see them changing the side number plates quite often. KTM's are tricky at this where the bottom part closer to foot is sticking out a little and its really about minutes where...
Hey Barry. I am in the graphics business (well seems like not for long anymore - selling my business/knowhow) And I can tell you that in the world of graphics for dirt bikes there are 3 types of graphics manufacturing processes which I know of, and about 4 main vinyl suppliers for these. Depending on the company, most of them...

What happened to Smith? I remember having few and they were great. Similar to Scott as I remember. Also been riding in Oakley Crowbar, I liked them, but 100% did fit better in my V3 I think. I love that wider elastic strap on 100% actually

Thanks a lot for clarification. Will see what I can do with price for this set and if I can make a good deal, I guess I'll go for it. I used to have similar setup on my older TM where I bought it with some after market triple clamps and there was no issue with these shims whatsoever. I...

Yes you are right, I didn't mention Thermal because there are very limited companies using them especially start-ups like myself as they are quite expensive Smile I think in States there are few companies doing thermal transfer printing or maybe they just have the cmyk process and inlaying so spot on that there is difficult to notice Smile There is...

I also make MX graphics, used a lot of RaceTech and some Acerbis, and it is not the same 'base' as the 'normal' colour plastics. Because they, I guess, have to put something into these fluorescent plastics to be so bright they are also more translucent (see-through like). They do not hold long because of the above mentioned reasons. They...

The problem I see with all this is the expectations of the fans. Sometimes (many times) they are not the same expectations than the actual team has. You know, not every year is perfect, and therefore to pick the best for representing the country is not always an option. And that saying how do you know who is the best...

Yep. App would be definitely a step forward. Would be great to have some info from analytics of how many of us are using mobile to browse/read VitalMX. Might be worth the investment into the app at the end. If so I actually work for a company which is one of major ones here in Europe for mobile applications development...

Good looking concept. BUT let's not to forget that these sites also live from advertisements, and so as graphic designers we should always think what is the case we design for. So while making it nicer, cleaner, and more legible we should always take care of this 'marketing/sales' side of things. Just one little note. In terms of the type...

First of you need to understand the difference between screen & print I guess Smile RGB is ok with printers, as it will be RIPped in a post process by printer's software. BUT don't judge whats going on on screen in terms of RGB vs CMYK gamut shown. The colour representation on digital media like screens is science on its...

Hi Chris92six, Unfortunately there is nothing like 'right colour code' for MX printing. There is way more behind it. Honestly I am printing graphics on my own for something over 6 months and still can't 'colour code' Yami's blue properly. There are many factors in play: 1/ Media used for printing, 2/ then you have different printing profiles on you...

That MX simulator forum reply by mxr449 is pretty spot on! Wish I could have this info before I started Smile But it was a good journey to figure everything myself. @alanasmx I replied to your DM. Hope it helps.

Hi alanasmx. And welcome Vital, my first post here Smile So the question you raised is the same exact question I asked myself like 1 year ago. I am originally graphic designer, having a great job for very good money, as well as doing some freelancing on some other cool projects here and there. I have wife and 15 mths...
