Title: Black on black dye sub vs. Engraved?
Post by: lightsout714 on Fri, 31 May 2013, 16:55:52

I love the look of engraved but can't touch type so they did not work out for me or my kids that used them.

Wondering if the black on black dye subs like the ones that vortex makes were about "more visual" for lack of a better term.

I think it will have slightly more contrast compare to the engraved one, but not by much.  In all honesty if you think engraved didn't work for you I don't think black on black will.

You're better off buying the regular "visible" sets like white on black or black on white.  Hope this helps lol.

This. Room lighting will play a pretty big part in this as well.

Thanks that's what I figured just thought I'd ask.
