Quoted from PinballAir:Did you use a silhouette cutter and layer it or is it printed on vinyl?
It was my Graphic Designer that digitized, and then put it on vinyl.
Because I had it put on plexi (maybe lexan), I asked if maybe adhering it on the backside might be best, but
he insured me that if put on the front, it could handle the punishment, and was proven to be right..
If it was placed on the backside, then the art work would have been placed on clear vinyl (in reverse) then
white vinyl over that such as this backglass. Black was added over the white for light block out..
Yes, I believe Steve uses vinyl, and somewhat bakes it on, thus only applies it onto glass..
My Graphic Designer doesn't use the heat process, so many I have put on plexi. The Genco Two Player
Basketball glass as shown above needed holes drilled through it for the two upper baskets, so it was applied
on lexan. I have backglasses from when I first began this procedure back in the mid 90s, and no problem. All is 100%
attached..
And I just learned today that he began digitizing the glass for the 1956 Williams Fun House. Rare machine.
Looking forward to getting that one in.. (T)
After 20 some years, he became a Friend. Although doing backglasses isn't his normal business,
vinyl is. I pay for what is done and it's well worth it. When digitized, the glasses come out fine enough that
many times I've traded for new silk screen glasses. Back in the 90s, with all the ball bowlers with poor glasses
that I was getting in, he saved me big time..
I had the scenery made on Midway's Deluxe Shooting Gallery, and Midway's Shooting Gallery
from vinyl. Made a mistake not hanging onto the Deluxe, but I have another in line..
I believe I have taken scenery out, and applied opposite pressure for a period of time to make it
more flat..
I have a Marksman in storage, but haven't gone through it yet..
