I don't know if they need to be cured better, or it it's just cause they are still so new, but the CPR glasses scratch very very easily compared to the original. My SBM glass I got from them, got all scratched up from just removing it carefully a couple times. Also the score displays rubbed against the glass very slightly in a couple places, and there are all these micro scratches. Fortunately almost all of the scratches are in the black area and I covered them with a couple little peices of electrical tape and now the glass in the machine when lit still looks perfect! Just a heads up to treat this ink very gently! Perhaps after a few months by the lights in the backbox it will harden up to be stronger like the originals. Otherwise you could clear seal them, but that can screw up the ink too, so it's better just to be really really careful! That being said I do appreciate CPR as most of there stuff is really spot on!

Quoted from Stu:

Regarding Scratching: We have also recently ( about a year ago ) switched Inks and once cured ( via UV Lighting in our production process ) the ink is Much Much tougher to scratch.

Good to know, thanks Stu!
