    What resolution do you need to get a good print? How does it look close up. (There is really no way you can tell that with pictures because of jpg compression and such.) I just remember seeing my first Tron machine and looking at the targets and thinking they looked horrible. They resized the images and they looked like a pointilism painting close up. If you get really close on the backglass, do the lines look clean?

    Sorry for the pickiness. I'm really picky about resizing things (not that you can tell looking at my crappy icon).

    So 150 dpi is the minimum, but what is the native resolution of the printing process being used? You mentioned the Flash backglass looked really good. What was the resolution of the picture that was sent to the printer?

    One last question. On the backside picture, I see 3 "dings". Two in the top left, one in the bottom left toward the Tilt. What happened there? Can you notice those from the front? Is that just handling issues, or did it come from the printer like that?

    I gotta tell you, the backglass from the pictures looks incredible. It is also a great backglass to do initially because I know there are tons of Flash machines out there with absolutely atrocious backglass. It really seems like you know what you are talking about because you spec'd png files instead of jpgs. That gives me a big vote of confidence.
