The Old sticker machine....

Post by Rich Trujillo »

After checking out Jamin's XX-T build and his interest in the hollow white Losi stickers, I thought you guys might be interested in seeing the old sticker machine/plotter that we used to make the vinyl stickers for team drivers, Pop's Indy car and most of the stickers you see on the box top cars. We used the machine quite a bit for the Pink and Yellow vinyl sticker production as well as window mask.
Sadly it doesn't get used much anymore. Occasionally for window mask but the days us sitting there and weeding hundreds of cut sheets are long gone. Yes all those Yellow and Pink vinyl stickers were all assembled by hand. We used to sit there for hours doing those LOL.

Here's one of the old files:

Below is our Plotter to cut the vinyl:

And all that's left of the material. The fluorescent pink and Yellow are long gone
