Quoted from pinballinreno:More and more, people are direct printing these old playfields.
Intricate restorations are probably going out of style in favor of fast wearable surfaces that can be rapidly and cheaply re-inked.
Its not better, but faster and cheaper.
True but there is something “special” about a restoration that has been done with care using masking, airbrush etc… vs a printout which is just laid over the top. I’ll consider that as a last resort. Besides, at the very least I would need a decent scan of a playfield that’s in good condition. No one seems to have one.
