Nice out of the box thinking. Saving this thread for future playfield projects.
Thank you.

Quoted from Atari_Daze:I had visited this thread so long ago I forgot about it, 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 decals ready but do like the results seen in this thread.
I'm curious what vid1900 @HEP and Bryan_Kelly think about this method. Bryan mentioned rub transfers in an Apron restore thread:

Does Chris Hutchins of HEP fame use this method?
Quoted from Drano:I'm not sure if anyone out there has posted anything regarding rub-on transfers for playfield work.
If they used them, it was a well kept secret
As noted at the top of this thread, I did a ton of research when trying to work on my classis stern playfields and came up empty. Basically just lots of trial and error and finally my desire to find custom "Letraset", which I had used many moons ago in school. I never imagined you could make your own... but was lucky to find a service that did just that!
Absolutely your solution is original . When I researched fixing a Nags play-field that I needed to do a lot of work on I explored letraset type transfers but found nothing. I learned about Illustrator and Photoshop and can make decent waterslide decals now. However, my application of decals is not perfect. This appears to be a superior way to fix a multitude of play-field issues and will use this idea on my next play-field repair. Thank you very much for the clear tutorial.
Chris Hutchins does not use waterslide decals either and has written about silk screening his lettering if I recall. Impressed with both of your work. Thank you
