Quoted from leonml:Digital is the future. Purist silk screen lovers will be dinosaurs. Sort of like restoring any old hot rod and asking for hardware store paint like it was in the 1900s, brush painted on, done every year because it flaked off that fast, cause that's the original purest way of things. What's next, keeping your game as an original "survivor", calling all the damage "patina"?
Except silkscreening still allows things not possible with digital..
Quoted from leonml:Any "unique" color limitations will soon be history
Not with the technology being used today...
Quoted from leonml:Besides that, most can't agree what the original colors of many playfield should be because there's no reliable record, and variances in the original production of said playfield
The original colors are known... it's that there are lots of variations in what was produced.
Quoted from leonml:What I'd like to see is someone produce playfields that are cleared to the aftermarket standards of kruzman, which should also be a minimal additional cost because it's all done at the same time
Uhmmm.. no. The very reason a kruzman clear job is different... is why its so difficult to do in production. TIME.
Mirco already addresses the technology side of the equation by clearing in controlled spaces, consistency, etc.
Digital speeds up the print process and reduces steps. It's not changing the other pieces.
