Ok, so I just sold a machine and pulled it out of my line up. After I pulled out it out, I looked over to my KISS Pro (purchased NIB) and noticed wrinkling on the side around the bolts. Upon further investigation, it appears the artwork has shrunk by about 1/8" - 1/4" on the three visible sides. When you look at it, you can see the difference and when you run your finger over it- you can feel a sticky residue.

So my question is "is it common for the decals to shrink and wrinkle like that in a normal temp controlled environment? If so, is there anything that one can do to prevent it shrinking further?"

So Thundergod & Dendoc, did it level off or did it get worse? Either way, I'm kinda pissed that it's wrinkling like this after a year in a temp/humidity controlled environment with very light use. While I'm not jumping on the bandwagon for the other issues being debated, but this is putting a bad taste in my mouth with Stern.

I contacted Stern and was requested to submit pictures. I did as requested and we will see what occurs. But Chas was a very nice as always - so I'm hopeful they will make it right.
