Quoted from Pinhead1982:

Opened up a new Mirco playfield I got with an AFM I just bought...
Here are just a few of the inserts... clear is pretty crappy as well

How did that make it out the door? It's like a reject that CGC wouldn't take for AFMr.

Wish people would say ink stuck or adhering to sealed wood with lenses.

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

I've seen a lot of people saying this but it makes no sense. While Ron does a great job of touching up and clearing playfields, if the issue is art not sticking to the playfield, redoing what's on top isn't going to make a damn bit of difference.
Here are three pics of a Mirco FH playfield swap I did for an op friend of mine. He sent me these pics after about a week's worth of play. While it looks minro now, I guarantee you it will get much worse.
I'm so fucking tired of this shit!
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Ron has covered this before in his dedicated thread, I don't remember the details and am not at all well versed in all the proper terms but IIRC he basically removes some / all of the Mirco clear and then does his detailed, multi-step re-clear with curing between coats, etc. I understand your point about the art potentially still pulling up BUT if the clear on top never cracks / chips it can't really pull the art work up with it.

Quoted from gdonovan:

I really, really hate to be the one defending Micro here but that is small potatoes. That picture was grabbed off random HH sale ad on Pinside.
My factory Blackout slings are so far off from the print it's ludicrous.

Yeah, those kind of registration issues are pretty minor and not too uncommon on factory games either.
