Quoted from Atari_Daze:I've now contacted our local print shop for a quote as I'm dangerously close to having my Playfield ready for these or water slides.
I have the waterslide
I never heard from our local print shop, any pinsider able to produce these?
So, if the order has already been made for a particular game with this rub off vendor, would they still have the artwork for the games that have been done or does it all have to be re-submitted?

The vendor likley has no idea what the original order was for and certainly no reference to Quicksilver, for example.
I would imagine they would want to treat each order as unique.
I suppose the original buyer could call up and say, please re-print order #12345
I think it would still be wise to get some pantone swatches and match the colour to your specific playfield. I know it's not a huge deal if you're covering all the text, but that's just me. If you're slightly off on your application or something moves with the clear, an exact match won't be as obvious.
The ordering procedure isn't that hard. Select the sheet size (letter sized in the case of QS) then select the colour option (custom PMS and enter the code) then upload the file and select your required production speed. Each of these options carries a different cost factor.
Quoted from sohchx:Glad I found this thread!!!!

Do these transfers have any transparency? Was going to have some made primarily in shades of light and dark blue. I was planning to use some of these over inserts, but if they don't let much light pass through them then I'll need to come up with something else.
Thanks,
Jody
Thanks for the info! I usually do waterslides but printing dot patterns usually results in grainy decals, but the transparency is more important. Maybe I’ll use a waterslide decal as the foundation, then use the transfer for dots, might look good that way
Looks to me like most of the damage on those inserts is on the background color. I'd repair that with paint.
The dot pattern or "dithering" is a pain, but the damage in those areas appears very small. You might get away with solid colors.
Thanks Drano, I'll go with paint. I can match the color much easier with paint. I recently had another project that had a dot pattern, and I made water slide decals, but ended up just using paint for that too. For some reason I thought transfers or decals would be best for this W?D, but not now
