Quoted from o-din:

Funny, as I look at my 90s B/W games, they all have artwork under the posts and not a one exhibits any signs of pooling or paint loss there.

It won't do as it is screen printed. That's 5 layers of paint and then possibly 2 layers of solvent epoxy clear.

whereas these are digitally printed which is a microscopically thin layer of ink/paint and then 2+ layers of water based clear.

You want a bulletproof playfield?

Use marine ply (no voids, hardwood)
Run it through a roller to compress the fibres
Screen print it in a 5 layer process using lead based ink
Clear it with 2 layers of solvent clear
and allow proper curing time between all of them.

Of course this is now impossible but if Zaccaria could do it, then it must still be technically possible.

Quoted from Chambahz:

Whatever you say Buddy. You’re “not a Stern basher”?

Funny as J85M has bought a serious load of Sterns. I have one of his games in my Games Room.

are you billing them for the time it takes to build & install it?

My JP Premium, built 27th December 2019. 85 plays on it as of last night and hardly a dimple and no pooling. Maybe I got lucky and the Christmas shutdown allowed more time for it to cure?
