CLAIM: INCs can cause playfield plastics to warp
I've seen plenty of warped plastics, but did heat cause this, or mechanical stress?
Or age? Environment? Other factors?

Quoted from stangbat:If you spend any time around EM games or solid state games with screened backglasses you really can't dispute this. You'll see flaked and peeled backglasses right in front of bulbs. It isn't universal because different manufacturers used different paints that were more or less susceptible to flaking. And some colors were more prone to flaking than others. But no doubt, the heat can damage the paint and cause it to flake.
How many silk screened back glasses have been exposed to LED lighting as long as some 30 plus year old back glasses that have been used with incandescents?
Quoted from stangbat:Maybe I'm dense, but either I don't understand the question or understand your point. But the issue with backglasses and incandescent bulbs is the heat. Shouldn't be an issue with LEDs.
LEDs haven't been used (or even around) as long as incadesants, so there aren't many if any, silk screened back glasses that have been exposed to LED lighting for anywhere near as long.
