Quoted from PanzerFreak:All LE's are direct printed and clear coated. Sounds like new standards going forward are going to use decals. Jack said that the decals method actually cost more.
Yep the direct print is more resistant to flipper wear and according to Jacks Camp earlier on, a superior process. Operators don't care about beauty like collectors. Decals are a definitely easier to replace. The direct print was suppose to last forever so who knows what they're doing.
