On EBAY and elsewhere, I've seen "Clear" plastics, already cut for placement on a pinball playfield. Is there some process that is well known/easy for putting the graphics on these arbitrary shapes of plastic, are the people who buy these plastics using them blank, or are they all artists doing the painting freehand? Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm missing a couple Black Knight plastics, and I'd love it if there was some easy way to print the art on a clear piece of plastic, since I could probably get the right shape cut from a CNC with a little bit of practice..

Thanks in advance!!

Hmm.. Interesting.. I guess I've never noticed a game with intentional clear plastic before (other than a playfield window like in Black Hole or the old Space Time "tunnel") but then again, I don't get to play too many machines newer than my black knight!

Thanks for the info!
