Material for CPOI'

[iscariot]

I've done a few CPOs from an outdoor sign vinyl.  It works, but it doesn't have the same "feel" as an arcade cpo.  What are the CPOs made of?

Most are made of clear textured plastic, screen printed on the underside. Not practical to do them that way for one off custom panels. Some earlier games have the graphics silk screened right onto the metal panels, while others have the graphics on the reverse side of plexiglass, just like a marquee.

My wife makes them for me at work with sign vinyl too. I always put plexi over them because the graphics will wear off otherwise.
