Some day in the distant future, I will have my Black Widow. Will this art still be available then, or are you only going to do a limited run and that's that?
 
Can I make a suggestion? While I appreciate the service you are offering, I think it would be better if you only offered art work that is not currently available silk screened from other members of this forum. It's hard enough to get them to make an expensive run of the art and then as soon as they do, they get undercut by the ink jet products. There should be plenty of non silk screened products to give you a good base to keep you busy.

/my two cents

Agreed. I doubt the OP will agree with me on this, but it's kind of insulting to those offering it, printed faithful to the original process. For those of us willing to wait for something like Black Widow screened from the original art, it hurts as it puts a dent in that market and makes it less likely it will happen. I guess if all the folks serious about having it printed as original hold off, then it might not hurt the market.

This is a tough one for me. While I would hate for an inkjet product to steal some customers away from the screened art pool, making it harder for those in that pool to get items run, I also don't think it is right for those who aren't concerned as much about the print type to be held hostage and forced to buy something more costly when they would rather replace with a cheaper alternative. That said, I much prefer the screened art and I think many will, but options are always good until one option leads to the demise of the other. In that case I would hope the screening lives on. :) Anywho, I was considering ordering some MH marquees here. I am not aware of a screened alternative.
 
All of our art is print-to-order.
If you need it today, we print it today.
Need it in 3 months, we'll have it in 3 months!

Thanks for asking.

all of the art you're offering is available or in the works by the screen print guys. You're stepping on toes. Why not offer artwork that isn't available or in production ?
The Emerytex is the wrong texture for Atari overlays.
 
GRAVITAR and BLACK WIDOW will be screen printed as soon as I get the films. Yes I cannot say when that is because I rely upon Scott Evans to take a lot of FREE time to go through a whole container full of parts and films that were not catalogued by Atari

I promise you when I say Im gonna make something I will do it. Maybe not within ones ideal time frame but have it screened and from the films is the best one can do.

I fought this fight for years against the inkjetters. There is so much unreleased product out there that is perfect for the inkjetters. If anyone honestly buys Major Havoc or Quantum inkjet side art for their high dollar machines well then thats really on them. Yes taking market share away from screen printers will deter some future projects but not all. I hope you rethink your position and focus on unreleased products. I made AD side art in a large qty using the films and so far Im taking a bath on it. To top things off would be to find one or two inkjetters making them.

btw, Scott is shipping me a new batch of films this week. Not sure whats in there because my wish list to him is very long. Take a look at the products Ive added this year and what is in the works about to be released Food Fight side art, Lunar Lander side art and its been busy. I cannot click print and spit out a cheap set for you guys

I appreciate all the guys who have the screen printers backs. This is expensive to do and even the inkjetters know it.

Merry Christmas!
 
All good points Darin. If I were making inkjet stuff, I'd concentrate on things that can't be silkscreened, like rampart art, etc. I would also do some things that are lower interest, but you don't have a minimum whn you can do one at a time. I would really love a full art package for bump n jump.

That would be very foolish indeed!!! ;) Marquees at least are easily removed and replaced. Since I can't get anyone to offer an answer.......Darin, do you know of screen printed MH marquees in the works or at least close to the front of the queue?

I agree about it not being right for those who aren't concerned about the print type to be deprived of having a cheaper alternative for getting artwork for their cabinets. Some people are willing to settle for less and are happy to have something that looks better than nothing at all.

No one should feel like they're "stepping on toes". The quality of the work and materials is different, so they should be treated as different products.

I think that even if a cheaper, and lower-quality, alternative is available the people who desire the higher-quality work will still buy the higher-quality products. I don't think they would just jump ship and miss the opportunity to get professional quality silkscreened artwork, available in limited supply, just to save money on inkjet art that can be done at any time.

The top quality stuff is for those who want their game as close to the original as possible. The lower grade stuff is for everyone else. I can see ops and those who flip games for quick cash going the cheap route.

The guys doing the top-quality silk screened art just need to always emphasize the benefits of their silk screened work over the cheaper alternatives.

Personally, if I'm going to get art for a game I'm going to keep for a long time, I'm always going with the silk screened top-quality work. But it's good to also offer a cheaper alternative for those who want it.
 
Darin,

I am patiently waiting for this production:

- GRAVITAR and BLACK WIDOW will be screen printed as soon as I get the films.

Thanks for the heads up. Can't wait!

SORRY FOR HIJACKING THE THREAD.
 
Who has screened MH marquees for sale or in the works?

dedicated or conversion?

IMO having a cheaper inkjet option will kill alot of screened projects
and Ive pulled some of them down that I do as Id much rather see some of them screened.
theres plenty of things to do that are not avaiable or do not have plans to being available
and in some cases better suited for inkjet

I happen to do both and take this into account with Every project I do.

The problem with the inkjet competition is more than just a cheaper price (though not always cheaper)
Silkscreening is done in bulk so if there was more interest in screening larger numbers would/could be run
keeping the price down in alot of cases even cheaper than inkjets
Take a look at Centipede art silkscreened from PA I dont think you can find a cheaper version of that inkjetted.
So with the other options cutting into sales of screen art or future screened projects.
The qtys of the run of a screened product go down and the price comes up.

Someone offers a silk screened smash tv marquee??!?! where!?

not that i want to jack up this thread any more than it already has been, but the OP did originally post in the general/resto forum (can't remember), why wasn't a lot of these "issues" brought up there?
