I checked out the Robotron 3000 and was in awe-- only I still don't have a clue how one would go about creating such a thing. Anyone have a moment to answer my clueless questions or at least point me in the right directions. I have an old Gyruss cab I am in the process of scoping out for a MAME box.

Sorry for the plethora of questions but I have searched and searched... no luck yet! Please help.

1.)What material do I purchase to print on. Vinyl? Where do I get it?

2.)I hear Lexan mentioned as though it is a fabric like material and a glasslike material. (and a dessert topping and a household cleaner - sparkle is both!)

Are there different kinds, and where do I get it. What about glue?

3.)Assuming I have this wonderful material, can I print on it using my plain old inkjet. Will it run or fade or smudge? Should I go to a print shop?

Thanks-- I've been reading and reading and this is a great resource so far.
