Quoted from vec-tor:To me, the hard part is to reproduce is all of the small stardust dots...
On Gottlieb Black Hole, they added a second white screen to add all the small dots over
the final artwork.
I agree. The missing "L" is due to the black key line covering it because it was applied after the white. Doing the white after would have yielded the art like the original, with the "L" visible over the black key line.
Quoted from Highclasspinball:I use the exact same color mix on the printer for the plastics and the playfield. But due to the digital print, yes the color might look weaker than a screen print. Unlit plastics and playfield have the exact same color.
I could possibly print two layers of cmyk before white is printed but that would change the color unlit into darker versions.
This is the limit of digital print... screen is simply too expensive and that why not worth the effort in that small batches.

If you have the ability to print 1/2 density on the "second" pass of color, people have reported that as the sweet spot for reproducing using digital printing. So a color layer, then 1/2 density of color, then single white. Depending on printer, this may look better than doing color 2X. Mac
