What is the coating on Xarcade Tank stick control panel?
« on: April 27, 2018, 03:39:18 pm »
I'm working on a cabinent and I'm curious as to what sort of laminated coating is used on the Xarcade tankstick.
I was just going to put a piece of lexan over the top, but I really like how the tankstick is done.
But what is it called or how do I find a company and say "do this" ?

Thanks!

The material Hanaho uses is called GE Lexan 10 mil Suede/Mat Polycarbonate. It comes in clear transparent rolls, and the printers print the graphics (silk screen) on the back side of this. By printing the graphics on the back it insures that the graphics WILL NOT rub off. Once it’s dry a 3m adhesive is added, then cut, packaged and shipped to me.

This is a quote from Rich Ragon of Hanaho, who used to produce the HotRod joystick which preceded the X-Arcade units. The overlay material is pretty much the same thing on the X-Arcade products.
