Replies aready. I'm impressed.

OK ... I have 2 x tiff files (300 dpi) made from 2 full size (724mm x 648mm) high res scans in Canada by an owner of a Catacomb and fortunately having the skills, equipment and time to make me some excellent scans. I have removed some speckle, colour matched some areas and re-worked some scan lines to a reasonably retentive level of detail in Photoshop.

The main image file comes in at 390Mb and the masking layer is a mere 260Mb. Clear areas and translucent areas (like Game Over and such) are properly layered in the graphics as a printer would want them.

I have approached about 4 or so printers that print large HQ images on backlit media, but no takers as yet.

I have seen various printable backlit media. I didn't know that vinyl came in clear, which will be essential for this backglass as it has a very large clear area. I will "re-pursue" some earlier enquiries knowing that.

If I can get them printed on clear vinyl, my skills are up to doing the spray and squeegee method competently. Thanks for that.

And ... who is this gavin retropin of which you speak?
