- I picked up a game with a very tired and scratched back glass Follow along as i show you how to make a new back glass from start to finish. This could work for other glass projects like stained glass or even printing images to glass. Works for all gottlieb, bally, stern and midaway pin ball machines too!
How would we go about finding a glass printer. What questions do I need to ask them to ensure I get a quality product (DPI, color matching, etc...?) Thanks...Great Video!
Just starting the artwork on the same skyjump backglass. Good work. Love seeing a restoration that keeps as close to the original as possible. The UV printer is great for work like this.
Have fun!
Wooow, good job there Rush, thanks for letting us see how it’s printed 🙌🏻🤩
That’s very cool. What printer or printing service are you using? That’s kinda been my barrier to entry.
Very nice end result. Thanks for sharing.
😀
Wow! Great work. I do full restores but have never attempted a backglass. Kinda wish i had the equipment just to try one.

awesome work
Very good video. I have been doing this for quite a while myself. I scan it, merge it in Photoshop and clean it up I take it to a local phot lab. They have a huge UV printer and its printed on the glass as well. Now I am trying something different. I had a a playfied scanned in one pass. Cruse scanner. Cleaning it all up in Photoshop. Then the playfield will be sanded down and it will be directly printed on the wood..Can't wait to see the results.
Do you print off others?
hello... contact me at rushfan@live.ca
Sounds awesome. i am trying to find a cruise scanner service near me but its prohibitively expensive.
Fantastic job.
I print my playfields on an HP DesignJet large format printer on clear acetate and then spray the white backing on manually. They look pretty good and means I can repeat colour matching til it's right at no cost (and no pedantic print shops refusing to do anything that has a copyright logo on it) but it's labour intensive. Would love to own a printer that could overlay the white but AFAIK the UV inks aren't as vivid as the dye based ones?
hi. i also have this scanner. but sometimes it produces nasty stripes or a line with color-shifting depending on the scan-substrate. how did you manage to fix these stripes and color-shifting with photoshop? i m going nuts with these artefacts.
Great cheers man
Thanks for the visit
I loved that scanner but there were no drivers for the later versions of Windows. How did you get it to work after upgrading Windows?
I have a dedicated laptop I run the scanner off and don’t upgrade the software.
@@rushfanpinball1604 what OS are you running that scanner off ?
Im literally doing my skyjump pinball now ughh
@@djludikris hi. its an older version of windows... i will be doing another video on another back glass and will give the exact specs
I have gotten the scanner to work on modern windows but it is super finicky.
It will not work for 24 attempts and then on the 25th attempt the pc will recognize the scanner and work for several scans. Then it loses the connection and takes another 25 attempts to reconnect.
But, it does work…
How do you calibrate your monitor so that what you see on screen matches what is printed?
@@laurencecoxon9760 when you input the canvas size it prints to that specification. Photoshop also has a print size view that gives you the actual print size
Where do I find a printer like this?
what type of printer are you using
@@godj8146 it’s a UV cured flat bed printer at a print shop.
