from the above pic (asumming you flipped it) this is the back side from printed on 1/8" clear plexi??
looks like they just printed 2 different whites 1 opaque white and one a standard white
dont know why other than to make those parts more opquae.
if thats the case a sperate white screen would be needed with same trap/bleed as other spot colors, the thinner white would be full pass on the back.
Hmmm.... I had a cleaned up one I did a few months back I could have uploaded to anyone anytime...

Yes I flipped it. It is the original SPO marquee; printed onto the backside of 1/8" clear plexi.
Okay, that makes sense. They definitely didn't trap/bleed for the small stuff like the copyright lettering or Nintendo logo, so I assumed that was a full pass over the black that has those letters cut out of it. In fact, there is no trap/bleed for any of the white aside from the opaque white of the "Punch-Out" text outline. So there would definitely need to be a full pass of white in there somewhere.
Would replicating the separate white screen process really be necessary though? I think the results would be better without it (plus it would be one less screen that needs to be used). When backlit, the opaque white doesn't look as good as the rest of the whites; because it ends up looking off-white in comparison. They probably had to do it that way because of the colors in the "Punch-Out" text needed traps/bleeds (the other whites are just solid whites with no colors printed within their borders).
My guess is that they didnt want that white outline to back light as bright so the lettering would stand out better. havnt seen the whole back but would also guess its only the outline of Punchout. which BTW looks like from the pic the stars are Black and the vector is white, am I seeing that right?
Cant see any reason for 2 black setups here
and Black would screen first
You think you could send me the file so I could play around with it?
Here's an image that shows the two black screens:

Like I said, that is not visible from the front. I have no idea why they did it that way.
I'll email you the whole scan of the back; maybe you can figure out exactly what they did and in what order.
From this pic that looks like the red overprint on the black so seems like its just ALOT of bleed on that red making it look like a 2nd black pass/setup.
reds pretty transparent Ill take a look at the full scan but pretty sure thats what your seeing if that makes sense?
if Rich repos the SPO marquee and even a PO marquee I'd be interested in both
I believe this matches the original printing procedure:

Do you agree, Rich?
BTW, the extra white screen for the outline is completely necessary (I realized that as I was building the file); unless one wanted to attempt perfect registration (no traps/bleeds) on the blue and green.
Same here. I can't seem to find a PO marquee in good shape.
