Das super sauce

Have a look at this link and tell me what you think.

Check out this video on YouTube:

Could this method be used to make small playfield overlays in which you transfer the image direct to the bare wood and then apply clearcoat?

Obviously you'll need a hi-res print. Just a thought

Interesting!... Need to test the inks with clear to make sure they dont react, but this certainly opens up a few possibilities

Kenny Priest who used to run The Pinball Warehouse up here in QLD used to use a very similar technique when fixing playfields properly.
He used to print directly on to that clear thin plastic sheeting, then place that clear sheet with the artwork onto the playfield, but it was glued down using a special sauce/glue like u see in that youtube video, and when the job was finished, u couldnt even tell the repair was done or even feel the edge of the overlay cause he would clear that area. It was also extremely durable.

It seems there are a few versions of doing this, and they are all superb for transferring artwork. Thanks for sharing. Great video.
