After 30+ years of decals and wraps being the way to decorate arcade and pinball cabinets, Spooky Pinball reintroduced direct-printing, known as "butter cabs"[1]. Although this time via large inkjet-type printers.

Just like the screenprinted Atari cabinets, it's worth seeing the Spooky butter cabs in-person. While decals have come a long way in fidelity and application, there's a feeling of satisfaction when the image is part of the object, rather than on the object.
