Printers association have forwarded my request on to someone down in Victoria. Spoke to them on the phone and sounds like the have the experience and equipment to help me. Fingers crossed!

Great idea. I have also found a printers association in Australia that covers screen printing and UV flat bed. I was going to call them and see what they recommend. I need to find someone that is willing to support my request as most don’t want to touch the work.

Interesting! Thanks for the link.

Found someone to quote me. $1600.00 AUD for 1 panel. Either I need to manage my expectations or maybe that’s the “don’t need the work” quote?

Would the white allow some light to bleed through to the front? The panel is backlit and the white text should illuminate on the front.

Thanks very much everyone for the help. I feel a bit more confident I can get it done now. Have found someone locally that does thermal foil. Will let you all know how I go.

Oh my, this is exactly what I need! https://www.facebook.com/groups/707334259675883/permalink/1364147110661258/ Gold, black and white:

I assume that can print the black and white easily too?

So can I confirm my options to search for in Australia: 1. Screen print 2. UV flatbed 3. Thermal Foil

I am after the full panel ideally. However I have places where I can get the plastic or glass cut to supply whoever prints. Let me Google that process and see what it is. Edit: wow just googled and it came up straight away with gold foil. Something I have been told was not possible. Something...

Ok, good to know. Let me talk to a few screen printers and see if anyone is keen on the job. I’m actually not after 1, I’m after 10-15. Even with my old ones that were not good enough, I easily found people across the world that wanted a spare. Better to have a rubbish spare than no replacement...

Yeah I think that’s the problem I am running in to at the moment. The effort vs profit margin equation is clearly not in my favour.

The company that did the print said their machine was set to print black. I got some advice from someone else and requested a 3 layer print but they said what I got was as good as they could do… maybe they didn’t want to try different setups, but they have been quite good with me generally. I...

I am prepared to pay for the quality. If my options are no glass panel, or a $400 one, then it will be a $400 one. Can screen printing accomodate the small text I have? Some of the lines are 1mm thick for the white text.

Really good question. I do not care about the process, all I want is a high quality print that is visible through the glass/acrylic, with a genuine black that doesn’t allow light bleed through and a white that does. I have been happy with the print quality so far with the digital print I had...

Does that also include making it block light? The reproduction piece I have seems to have a very hard textured layer printed reverse on the inside of the glass: With UV printing is the white and black a bespoke colour in the machine or is it a CMYK (or equivalent) mix?

The reproduction part looks to be printed not a vinyl decal. Is that possible? Am I not understanding the processes?

Hello everyone. I am an a long journey to refurbish an old 1960 McIntosh Tube Preamp. This item was far beyond saving and I am a long way in to a complete rebuild (happy to share pics if interested). I have had to fabricate a number of different parts as the model is no longer supported and...
