Description
Stunning NEW translite to backglass reproduction for a 1988 Williams Swords of Fury pin.
This looks best when lit with 2-SMD “cool white” LED bulbs, sometimes called “natural white”.
Please note – this was NOT a “reproduction” effort, and is in no way meant to mimic the look of a paper translite.
It is an entirely new CPR creation, meant to completely replace (and upgrade) the original SoF trans
Genuine tempered glass (art converted from the translite). Genuine 7-color CMYK & spot ink-silkscreened. Please see the photo gallery for identification of mirrored areas, and production notes. This translite conversion allows Swords of Fury owners to mod their machine to a superior real backglass look, as if SoF had a backglass from the beginning.
This time Swords of Fury gets the overhaul treatment to replace its lackluster paper translite.
As with most translites, backlighting produces relatively poor contrast results due to the black areas glowing
at 80-90% grey (instead of true black). Like with televisions that have poor black levels or contrast ratios, translites
provide a relatively poorer illuminated image. This is where our ongoing Translite-to-Backglass mission comes in…
The only true way to outperform an original factory translite is to take the leap to a true backglass.
Thicker, silkscreened inks are only the beginning…not only do they glow beautifully when backlit, but they maintain
their color saturation better, without “bleaching out” in appearance. So the colors “pop” instead of wash out.
With real glass and silkscreening comes two other major bonuses: mirroring and a lightblock (greyed) backside !
The mirroring adds our tasteful interpretation of what the SoF glass “could have been” had it been original.
The lightblock backside masks the artwork in a way that further deepens the contrasts, pops the art, and blackens
the blacks to true 100% black. An absolutely stunning result, as shown below.
This can be purchased ready to hang, in a custom polished aluminum frame, if you would like to add one to the wall of your Games room! (found under “Gamesroom Novelties”)
Note: This will ship on it own!
