That's why I said to print it on adhesive vinyl (meaning clear vinyl), but again I'm not sure of the availability for that near you. Or you could just buy transparency printer paper and use that. Should be stiff enough to stand up under it's own weight inside the holder, if not, you could easily cut a few more pieces of transparency paper to size and stack them together. |

Much obliged for all you input. |

Hey... as gamecreature mentioned (thanks gc!), I think I can help you out, too. If this is considered spammy, let me know and I'll delete ASAP. I do a lot of custom cut vinyl for forum members and if you have an idea of how you want it laid out, I can create completely opaque ready to apply vinyl decals. You don't really need transparent vinyl if you just cut the insert out of any normal opaque vinyl. All the empty spots would be the parts where the light shines through. Here's the thread again: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=51813.0 Even though those are on discs, I do offer everything in any form I'm capable of. So if you can manage some type of blank housing, I can cut you some stickers to throw in there. International shipping is no problem either. The problem I've had with transparency paper is it's never really opaque enough. Even with all the various laser printers I've tried it's still blotchy and translucent when backlit, especially with a superbright LED. But that is a great budget/diy option if you don't mind it. Hope that helps! mike |

I'm still a bit confused. Are the prices printed on a thin removable, flat piece of plastic or are they actually printed on the molded coin slot plastic? The pic looks similar to my coinco door which has removeable inserts. I didn't change mine but I did remove them while cleaning the coin slots up. On mine, printing on a transparency would work perfectly. If it's actually part of the molded plastic, then you might either have to find a replacement piece with the right currency, or sand off the screen printing, polish the plastic and then stick on vinyl or some type of clear label. Obviously the last option would be the most difficult and risk unsatisfactory results. It could be done though. |

Hey chaps, Thanks MikeDeuce I've been having a look at the your post & this looks like the ticket for me. So much so that I'm already thinking ahead to the CP button design for Mamewah config buttons & PC power switch button so I'd like to order some of your regular stuff to. :cheers: Are you able to produce coloured labels including black on the same label ?(I'm hoping to use coloured labels as opposed to using coloured bulbs)? Or even producing two labels for each insert i.e sticking black text on a yellow piece of vinyl? As a rough guide, I'm trying to replicate the UK labels i remember from yesteryear but I'm not sure if they are too complex for you. Could you take a look & see what you think ?? If they are i can simplify them to just showing the coin denomination i.e 10p, 20p |
