Artwork Print and Cut for IST MAKEStick Pro

Important: Custom Orders Do Not Ship Separately

If you place an order for a personalized product along with non-custom products, such as arcade part or merchandise, please note that all products will ship together. We ask for a minimum of 7-10 business days to process custom orders and prepare for shipping, as we often have a large queue, and personalized orders require additional processing work. If you desire to receive your non-custom products earlier, then please place two separate orders. This will allow the non-custom orders to ship within our normal 1-2 business days.

Control panel artwork represents one of the most convenient means to personalize your fightstick, giving it a new look almost immediately.

High Resolution, Color Fidelity

Artwork prints are developed using a top-of-the-line commercial printer, offering vivid, professional-quality artwork replication. The printer is capable of resolution of 1200dpi (dots per inch), and 6 color ink system (Cyan Magenta Yellow K(Black) + Light Cyan, Light Magenta and White) reproduces artwork over a wide color range. IMPORTANT: Please do not change the RGB color space of our templates to CYMK when submitting your artwork. Our templates are intentionally designed in the RGB color space to best match most customer's screen expectations. We will not reprint artwork whose template is changed to CYMK color space.

Artwork is printed on 10 mil cardstock sheet. It carries 95% brightness and tensile strength of 100 pounds per inch.

Each print is laser cut to your specifications, as presented by available options. You will receive the print with insert cutouts designed to fit your chosen brand. Gently press downward to remove the cutouts.
