Made in the USA! Phoenixarcade.com was started in 2000 with the focus of bringing you the highest quality arcade & pinball reproduction graphics and parts. As the industry leader with over $5,000,000 in sales (as of 2018) and a worldwide customer base as the top choice of retailers, movie studios and celebrity restorations. We are known for taking on the most difficult projects and doing it right, regardless of time and cost. Our main product focus is the golden age of arcade games from 1979-1985 where approx 95% of arcade artwork was originally screen printed by the manufacturers such as Atari, Bally, Williams, Taito etc... The screen printing process is very labor intensive and costly and requires one to print a large qty to keep the costs down. However that means we have a very large amount of inventory. Few of our competitors do screen printing and the ones that do have a very small catalog. Most of our competitors have chosen the improving inkjet-digital-solvent-next gen technology. There is still a discernible difference between the processes on most pieces. The biggest advantage of their process is they can click print and have a piece ready within seconds. Little to no inventory. The screen printing process involves creating an art file from scanning the piece or stitching together high res non compressed photo images of the piece being reproduced. After the file is created and cleaned up with individual color separations a set of films is output. One film for each color. Each film is then placed on an exposure box with high intensity light and burns (creates) the image onto a piece of framed mesh creating a silk screen for that color. This process is repeated until a screen for each color is made. For example if there is black, red, yellow, blue, lt blue, green, purple, orange then 8 screen must be made. We custom mix and match each color in a paint (ink) bucket. Similar to mixing paint at a home improvement store. The mixing process is done until the color is matched and the formula is noted for future runs. This process is repeated until we have a match for each color in their own respective bucket. The screen is laid onto the printing board where a piece of vinyl, glass, acrylic etc... will be printed on. One screen and color is laid down at a time. After each color the printed piece is put through a large dryer to bake (harden) the ink. The process is then repeated for each color until finished. The inkjet method uses 4 colors CMYK like a home printer to mix the colors based on the formula you input. We specify in our auctions if the item is screen printed or not. Hardly anyone screen prints anymore due to the cost and complexity. If their description does not say screen printed, it's not! They would be bragging about it.
