I'd like to get some insert decals printed for roller games but the coloured logos need to be printed with a white underlay so the colours appear correct, can anyone here do this?

Beat me to it Gaz.
He's not been on for a while but I'm sure he will chip in when he sees this.
 
Aye I asked him about some decals for my JM a little while ago as well but no response as of yet. Hopefully he pops back soon.

Be interested to see how you go with decals for JM, mines in need of a face lift as well.

Hi John,

i could do with artwork scan to be honest dude, im sure someone has drawn or made a digital copy for a virtual machine ...or to redo theirs.
have a mooch around the pin sites and see if there is a scan or a file you could send me / purchase etc...

I used http://www.colourgraphics.com to print out Futurama's playfield plastics artwork. The cost was £28 (all in: VAT, delivery and small order charge), It is more cost effective if you can combine several print jobs in one order. I ordered self-adhesive clear vinyl with a reverse print and white spot colour underlay. You just select what options you want and submit the artwork through their web-site. Quality was pretty good. Took exactly one week to turn up.

However:
1. You have to supply the artwork yourself with the white spot colour correctly defined. This was a right faff (my editor of choice would not output spot colour names in their required format) and somewhat nerve-racking: would I get a white backed print or just sticky backed pink blobs.
2. I ordered two different prints, one reverse printed, one normal printed. They both came back reverse printed! I guess I could have sent one back, but in the end I decided that the upper-playfield art was probably better underneath the acrylic than on top!
