What do I ask from a Printshop to make a repro translite?

[highjon]

I have an old em that has never had a backglass - a 4square machine.
Having spoken with a couple of printshops they don't reckon they can make me a repro'
Am I looking for acetate or plastic or what exactly should I be asking for?
I think I am not explaining my requirements clear enough...
It could be they don't want the hassle for a one off.
Any ideas what I'm asking for or even a shop who will do it?
It doesn't need to be local in location..
cheers

Could you not get it reverse printed on sign vinyl and attach that to the rear of the glass?...... Actually Rudi that's a pretty good idea

LOL. Made me chuckle.

If firepower didn't have silver in it I'd consider doing that

i know its not quite the same but I have used printed vinyl before a couple of time for the marquees on my arcade Cabs, works quite well but does wash colours out alittle, especially blacks. You can get proper translite stuff printed off the net and even on ebay I think when I was looking for one, they were quite pricey (about 30 quid) which is OK if you only need one shot at it.

Did you get the backglass sorted?
