This wrap was printed on Mimaki's eco-solvent printer, the JV100-160, and laminated with Mimaki's LA-160W heat-assisted laminator. The panels were cut with Mimaki's CG-FX Plus cutting plotter. The digital media used for this application was Mactac REBEL RB528H High Tack, and the laminate was Permacolor ColorGard LUV 8200. Step 1: Measure the outside panels of the arcade. Step 2: Remove the glass top of the arcade and measure the graphic underneath. Step 3: Design a game graphic in Adobe Illustrator, following the measurements above. Step 4: In Adobe Illustrator, create game graphics tting the arcade's 17" X 24" panels and the top graphic adding a 0.5" to each side to help during installation. Step 5: Print out the sections on Mactac REBEL RB528H High Tack using the Mimaki JV100-160 with SS21 eco-solvent inks. Step 6: Laminate each panel using the Mimaki LA-160W lamina- tor and Mactac Permacolor ColorGard LUV 8200 matte laminate. Step 7: Cut the panels using Mimaki FineCut and the CG-FX Plus cutting plotter. Step 8: Apply the new graphics over the old ones on the arcade panels. Step 9: Cut the new graphics in sections to t the coin slots and money retrieval sections. Step 10: Replace the top graphic and secure the glass back. Have fun with your freshly wrapped arcade game!
