Game on Grafix review aka "mamemarquee"

<< < (5/6) > >>

No it's seriously not bunched, I went over it like 50 times. The graphic is even trimmed shallow underneath the trim so the edge isn't touching the screw or the back edge of the angel bracket. Best way to describe is that angle piece is just sitting on top. The part at the edge is cut around the screw. To test the theory I even let the graphics sit on the board without trim and it did the same result after a day. If it had been the trim it should have stayed flat. The adhesive has let go from the graphic itself, it even did it in the center away from the trim and buttons. I'm not THAT big of a moron this is something I have checked both times now before bringing it up to scott. Images without trim:




Yes the graphic is flush, I had to re-trim it and it left that white part. The pictures are just crappy. The pictures aren't great mainly because I was taking them with my phone and I couldn't get enough light. Anyway Scott told me that he had changed out one element of his media recently and it could be the issue. We'll see.

Anyway, Scott has done his best and I'm happy with the service and the effort to fix. I admit I was frustrated before, but I have tried to remain fair and even apologized to scott for speaking out of frustration. Mainly I was frustrated with the long pauses between responses then the sudden interest after my rudeness. I'm sure he's also plenty frustrated with me as well.

pinballjim:
Fair enough, best of luck.  Nothing like a public shaming to get a vendor to do the right thing.

x8xid:
Like I said, he was just slow in response. He's tried twice to help me. It's just on the first shot they didn't bother to care enough to double check what they sent me.
After finally getting in touch with him he has been pretty good about answering within 24 hours. I don't blame him for suggesting it was the trim, the pics are crappy (best I could do and didn't think about sending him the follow ups.) I can't ask much more of the guy other than he really needs to get with his newest employee and tell him to pull his head out of his  :censored: and pay attention to what he sends out. (And I'm obviously not the only one who has had this issue.) It's been give and take both sides. I'm willing to admit it. I may give them another shot, obviously there are plenty of happy customers, can't have a perfect run every time you hit the track.

9.5/10

No complaints here.

My artwork arrived very quickly and was printed to perfection, exactly how I had provided it down to the Milimeter, I provided 300 DPI files with 1/2" of bleed on all edges.

My only criticism was that the vinyl was rolled the wrong way with the printed face on the interior of the roll, this caused a few creases in the side art while still on the mounting paper but I was able to work them out during the application process and they are completely gone now.

Sides, vertically dry applied, perfect fit, exceptional color, very high quality vinyl.


Marquee, vivid color, doesn't wash out when lit.


GOG are not cheap, but the value of the product is without question for me, I'll be using them for all future builds.

x8xid:
Got my new graphics (they were all correct) - doing some things different. Hopefully this works out.

I trimmed the graphic back even farther than before all the way to the contact point of the trim and the graphic.
I sealed the deck with clear coat in case the paint is causing a reaction, I let dry 72hrs.
I sprayed the deck with an even layer of 3M77 adhesive before applying graphics.
I let dry 48 hours before trimming out the button holes.
I only put the trim on finger tight, as well as the buttons, and the joystick bolts. Just enough to hold them in place.

Everything is on the arcade and looks good. Waiting to see what happens.
Will post again in 48 hours with an update. I have a good feeling this time.

Oh and the marquee graphic was having issues because of the trim pressure - I loosened the top right screw and the bubble went away.
So that one was me, not the graphic.
