Here goes! I’m adding a new category to CoinOp called Graphic History.
Recently, I’ve been reading (or more truthfully ogling) the book Art Deco Textiles by Alain-Rene Hardy. It contains exquisite reproductions of fabrics from France spanning the time period of 1910-1940.

We recently printed this fabulous two-color, eight-panel poster for Pattern People, an emerging force in the surface design community.

Pinball’s very own Project Manager Ashley Edwards, and Production Manager Nicholas Graham, are the proud recipients of the renowned, much sought-after “Excellence in Print Therapy” and “Exquisitely Smooth Operation” awards, respectively. I think someone taped the ceremony, in case you missed it.
We had the pleasure of printing some pretty fine posters in 2007. Our last poster of the year was this pen-and-ink cornucopia of noodles for Provvista Specialty Foods, designed and illustrated by Portland artist Patrick Long. Printed on creamy 100# text paper in black and cheddar yellow.
