    Probably highly depends on the translite. If repro'ing something with a mask to prevent light bleed into areas that shouldn't be lit, that's likely going to be a big issue. Also, every printer uses different materials, technologies and methods in their printing process. I would say not all are going to produce results that may satisfy when used in a pinball machine. Something with a laminant that allows the translite to keep it's form while preventing scratching is probably ideal.

    But at that price point, you are probably talking 20 bucks or so to give them a try so not out much to give it's a shot. Even good-but-not-great is better than bad or missing.

    Quoted from matiou:

    does anyone have experience with some generic backlit printing like this:
    https://posterprintshop.com/backlit-film/
    it should work well for a translite, no ?
    and the price seems good: $8 per square foot

    I've used posterprintshop before.... but now I use PrintMoz

    very high quality.
