We did some WILD EXPERIMENTATION today using CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY to print on plastic.

The results are so much better than expected. There's still a lot of work that we'll need to do to get this to a production standard, but we should be able to use these techniques to add high quality colored details to our toys in short order.

Two of our toys on a desk corner. They're pressed into makeshift sculpy jigs. They have pops of color across their surface, some of them are even in the locations we wanted them to be. Alignment was almost correct, but the details are all slightly skewed. A gameboy color cartridge with the Jupiter's Ghost cartridge art printed directly onto the cartridge, rather than printed on a sticker. some letters printed directly onto a white action figure torso. It says E FP TOZ LPED PECFD. Each row is smaller than the previous row. 

This is to showcase how small we can print the details.
