Translite

Published on August 23, 2020August 23, 2020 by William Oetting

A translite is a thin sheet of plastic that has artwork printed on it designed to be lit from behind and displayed in the backbox of a pinball machine behind a piece of clear glass. It is different than a backglass which has the artwork painted directly on the back of a piece of glass.
