    Quoted from KevinCPR:

    Interesting idea. Never thought of this possibility. The answer is YES.
    In fact, it's fairly simple to do in the Rip that runs the press. Select one (or any) of the solid colors, and override the master color(s) with a new one.
    Costs nothing more, and can be set up in minutes. So not just you - if anybody has a custom color idea for any reason, to any plastics or glass, for color changes - it can be as simple as shooting us an email explanation after your PayPal payment for the product is sent in. Make green... purple 272C. Make red... pink 211C. It's really that easy. You don't even need to explain why. Some people may simply want something "one of a kind" in their fave game.

    Kevin,

    Sorry if this is a stupid question but can/does CPR do translites as well as actual glass backglasses?

    There are several original translites that are very difficult or impossible to get, and the possibilities of original art and designs for alternative translites is large and obvious.

    I would love to have replacement original or new art translites for several of my games.

    Thanks,

    RussMyers

    Quoted from KevinCPR:

    Translites per se ... no. We'd be more inclined to make the translite on glass. We just don't really do paper type products. Now if we could source translite (or alternate translite) artwork in proper quality - we would rather produce them on glass panels. Then we've got something we can chew on. That's what we're set up for.
    But hey - maybe we can try something new. Trying some paper-type products. The future with the digital suite is wide open. It's a matter of everybody wanting a lot of things, tomorrow, and that is fine. But we've got to take the time to phase-up in our new model, and right now the business at hand is our back-catalog of ~130 plastics sets and backglasses all the way back to 2004.

    So by paper-type products you mean the flexible acetate sheet the translite is printed on?

    I would think adapting your digital print apparatus to translite would be fairly easy but you're the expert.

    Pinball collectors would want acetate translites for their machines that have translites, I would think.

    The market is definitely there, and your new business model of on-demand printing and original and new art is ideal for translites, IMO.

    Would DEFINITELY buy several from you.

    Also set of JP plastics maybe with custom color alteration.

    That concept has me drooling.

    Thanks,

    Quoted from Ballypinball:

    All the williams bally translites are reverse printed on .380 polycarbonate same as plastics but thinner
    Other than pinball 2000 front printed on white translite media

    Good to know.

    Polycarbonate and not acetate. My bad.

    How did they do the white diffusion coat on the back?
