Title: Playfield Restorations in Australia
Post by: greatwichjohn on April 26, 2012, 08:11:28 AM: If anyone has access to a commercial inkjet printer for large objects, & wants to restore playfields there. You can follow my process which is now bullet proof! All you need is a art file to restore the playfield(s). All the info on my site & I will answer questions. Good way to do custom playfields. Here are Star Gazer restorations done today.

I have come across someone who has a large format printer that does print on wood up to 13mm. how would I get an art file for the star gazer to see if I can get my playfield done in Australia.
Thanks.

If he was to just give out the artfile, he wouldnt be able to recoup his expenses over the years that he has spent perfecting his printing process and art file work which takes hundreds/thousands of hours.

Is that correct John ?

And he has stated if anyone has access to a commercial inkjet printer,so it is more an inquiry.
