Okay, I know this has taken a lot longer than everyone expected. I finally did receive a proof of the Dragon's Lair CPO.
Because of the original design this is not a project that can easily be vectorized and screen printed. The overlay was scanned, artwork touched up, colors matched and I received a sample that will look just like the final product. The overlay has the same texture and feel as the original and will hold up over time. It will have 3M adhesive as well.
Here's my concern/thoughts, the artwork recreation looks good, but because of the CMYK printing process it doesn't have the same "pop" or contrast as the original. The black isn't as dark and I've been told this is the best we'll be able to get. The color matching is close, but I can't say perfect, again due to the printing process.
So I just want to get people's thoughts. Are you guys are okay with this? I don't want to spend a bunch of money printing these and find that people don't want them. I am sure I can't do any better and that my printing company is doing their best given the project.
I've attached some pics, the original NOS piece is the one with the darker black color.
Thoughts?
