Quoted from Cherries_Jubilee:no grading as they are all digital
I know they are moving to a digital, on-demand model, but can someone who has received their CPR Paragon Play field confirm this? If this isn’t screen-printed, I think I’m out.
Quoted from megadeth2600:Just curious, but why would you be out? Digital looks amazing. It's basically a perfect silkscreen for lack of better terms. You're seeing the art the way the designer intended it to be seen. You don't have to worry about registrations being a bit off or other artifacts from screen printing.
Believe me, I get that people also want originality, but I think you're going to be pretty much floored when you see the digital playfields. I bought the Voltan one (my first digital print) and it is incredible looking. Meteor is also a digital print and looks outstanding (though they did screw up with some of the text on that).
Please don't take this as an attack on your opinion ... I just want you to understand that these digital prints aren't cheap-ass, mid 2000s inkjet printed garbage .
There are lots of reasons. Color fidelity being chief among them.
I spent many years in the screen-print industry as an illustrator and color separator. As a designer, you conceive your project with the medium to be used as a central part of the artistic process. The Paragon playfield was designed for screen-print.
When the sign up list first started, we were told that CPR had access to the original film positives. I was excited that we were going to get a playfield that was as close to the original as possible. Sadly, that didn't work out. I never heard the exact reasons, only that the films PPS supplied could not be used. So someone (I assume Stu) at CPR had to re-separate the design. I've studied this playfield very carefully. I can assure you that was a very ambitious endeavor. I'll look forward to comparing the reprint with my original.
