Wanted Indiana Jones Cabinet Decals

Highclass pinballs did still have some of the official reruns, they're spot on quality but not cheap. @PeteB out of interest are yours printed then with a protection lacquer on top or very smooth like laminate type finish?

They are printed with UV stable solvent inks to prevent color fading and then laminated in either gloss, satin, or matt depending on what the customer wants. Usually it's gloss. They do have a smooth finish.

Silk screening is an obsolete printing technology, it was the best they had at the time. For me personally I'd rather have the same artwork printed in better quality with modern printing techniques. The material is also important. We use an industrial grade vinyl designed for vehicle wraps, it has anti crease properties, and can also be applied with heat for a smoother finish and permanent adhesion. We're the only supplier in the world making this type of decals.

But I appreciate it's personal choice. Some people want the original old type of printing, so there's suppliers for that, others want the modern version. It's kinda like films - some people want to own Star Wars on VHS tapes or laser disc, others want it on Blu Ray or stream it on Netflix. Same images, different display technology.
