I started to restore all "Black Rose Pinball Aprons". My idea is, when I finsihed this restoration, customize then with golden vinyl details. It is an idea I driven here and results were awesome:

Hi EStroh!

Yes, the image you posted is so tiny. Is difficult to see quality of this artwork set. In my screenshots you can see a lot of details of this restoration. I will listed for you some characteristics of this work by me:

1) I worked with HD scaned files, not photos (I always work with scans because I look for accuracy every time).
2) I restored scan files, not vectorized them, in this way I did not lost original artist/author´s handmade. I only use vectors if there is no way.
3) You don´t know my work, but it is the most precise I saw in all net, I think. I look for people like me.
4) I´m the only one fan artist, even among proffesionals, that show his artwork with details even at 300% - 400% zoomed with comparative samples with unrestored original files (side by side).
5) In this miniature you showed me "Black Rose Centre Apron" is not corret. Wait for my restoration and you will see it.
6) Other shapes in this thumbnail are not correct too probably, because all around is black and it was difficut to for this author if he worked with bad quality scans. (reason of centre apron error).
7) The best thing now: I do all this for my own entertainment, not for gain money, like "shops" in this hobby. For me is a challenge to get the best restaoration possible in all my artworks.

You can see a sample of my work here. There are 1.000 artwork´s pictures by me (some are custom):

Ericpinballfan, all my fan artwork are one of the most precise and accuracy you can find in all net. Even shoppers don´t show their owns artworks like me with bigger screenshots.

About precut in "Back Rose Translite", when I receive a request from other fan, I try to save money for him. Like you know, if I order a precut by machine for whatever artwork, it will be more expensive. It is logical because you will need another machine and more work from a printer.

Let´s see, this is my copy with "window" cut by me with my own hands and a domestic cutter:

And this is another copy without "window" cut (your copy):

Well, I think it is not so difficult to cut it, but, Ok, respect your opinion and your not recommendation about this piece. This "Translite" is not same that "Aprons" that have a complex shapes. In this case, it is necessary a precut work by a machine or a lot of patience to cut by hand with a scissors.

If another user prefers it, I will cut "window" before shipping. I will not have a problem for to order it.

Price of precut in a machine is around $15-$20 and a little more expensive if printer have to design precut lines too.

Greetings
