Quoted from kursiv:So Bally playfields also had areas with halftone dots like top right corner here?
It may be the photo, but the 6/14 Ball color looks blue instead of green to me.

Quoted from jibmums:2. Two of the inks used in the EBD pallate were semi-transparent.
Gotta ask - why would CPR use semi-transparent ink knowing that playfield wood "character" is going to show through it?
Quoted from Gatecrasher:You know that's probably a good question for Kevin to answer.
Unless I missed it, this time I didn't even see a CPR post announcing that the EBD playfields were shipping. I was just curious why inks were used that would cause these "effects" for lack of a better word. Seems it could have been avoided by just using an opaque ink of the same color instead of semi-transparent. I agree with you though that they are beautiful playfields nevertheless.
Quoted from KevinCPR:Hope this helps explain the logistics of this stuff. If it were only so simple.
Thanks for the great explanation, Kevin. You've undoubtedly experimented with this, but would a double screening of white on the wood do any good to cover up the nits/hickeys prior to the semi-trans color (or have we arrived at the point of diminishing returns)?
Quoted from KevinCPR:We have been double screening white for years.
It all makes sense now. Thank you for your very informative explanations and insights on screen printing, and keep up the good work!
