We made the ones we needed for a bop. Nobody makes them. We went to kinkos with our artwork and they printed it up for us. They have a clear sticker paper that worked great.

The hardest part was the sizing. It was a trial and error type thing.

The artwork was hand traced by somebody else. I was sent an email with all of the inserts. Put it on a memory stick, then used that at kinkos to get the art into their computer.

I make mine with photo shop or an art program with lots of fonts. Print on paper till I get it the right size than print on decal paper I bought t the hobby shop. Works great. They can be laminated or I just brush clear over top.

PM sent with a quick redraw for you

Same here. See link below to some more info on this process. Works great.

One inexpensive way to make decals is to print on the glue side of scotch tape. I've done this for model airplane decals, the tape is pretty much invisible and the decals look good.

The process is fairly simple:
1) Print your decal on regular paper.
2) Put a piece of scotch tape over the printed image, a little bit longer than you want your decal to be.
3) Print again, this time on top of the scotch tape.
4) If you used an inkjet printer (as opposed to a laser printer) allow the ink to dry before the next step.
5) Put a piece of scotch tape on top of the scotch tape previously printed. Fold the end of the tape strip to have something to grab to pull it off.
6) Pull your decal off. The ink (or toner) should now be on the glue side of your decal.

I haven't tried this for pinball, give it a test run before applying it to your playfield. Also, make sure the tape still looks good if you put clear on it.

This is fairly easy to do, and it's dirt cheap - may be worth a try.

I planned on clear coating a Playfield, so I made the "A" B " C" insert decals for my EM Space Odyssey.. I have an older graphics program called Paint Shop Pro 6 I used to make the font and size as Close to original as I could... I printed them out on Testor's Water-Slide Decal Paper ( Hobby Lobby) on my Ink Jet printer and let the ink dry a few hours.. I then sprayed them down with Krylon Crystal Clear and let them set over night... Worked out pretty decent, the Black ink is a shade lighter than the originals though.. I'm sure a Laser Printer would work better.. Maybe I'll pick one up when the old Tax check comes in...Ha

Good Luck, Bill in Indiana

I use waterslide decals and then double them up. You wait about 24 hours and then apply the second one over top. Matches the opacity pretty close. Even with two waterslides, it is still thinner than most of the printed mylar out there. After waterslides, I spot clear the area where the decal was applied.

I made for my Swords of Fury too with the help of Photoshop and CorelDraw
