Hah, that's a good one! Yep, I have some shiny tape that will solve the identification problem, but I'm a little surprised by striking out on the sticker fishing expedition. It might just be a HW/SW culture difference because yeah, now that you mention it I'm not sure I've seen many free-floating HW company stickers either. In SW land, it seems like every damn company is keen to exploit the phenomenon where well-placed sticker piles spontaneously migrate onto laptops. In both of the companies I previously worked for, marketing tagged me before every engineering gathering to shepherd the sticker pile. One time they sprang for sparkly stickers and 5 years later I was still seeing those things on random laptops at conferences half a world away, lol. Protip: you need a cardboard or plastic box as a diffusion barrier so that they diffuse onto laptops and not the surface the sticker pile is placed on. Speaking of Warranty Void stickers, I've built up a cache but I am reserving those for my personal laptop. It's due for a refresh but I haven't actually pulled the trigger yet. |

But it looks like your collection probably cost a few 10's of thousands! |

I tried to pre-empt the helpful suggestions by mentioning plans B, C, and D but in true engineer fashion nobody was deterred ::) still, thanks, they were fun anyway ;D If someone really wants to help with sticker engineering, I am in the market for a better vinyl cutter than my Silhouette Cameo. I use it to cut front panel stickers, but the registration drifts by ~.5mm after 20 holes or so, and that's too much for keypads. I can make it work by piling up guide blocks to keep the cutting platform straight, but that is extremely awkward. If anyone here is familiar with the drift characteristics of newer cutter/plotters in the sub-$1k price class, I'd love to hear! EDIT: I had better not rely on subtext here: yes, I have considered using the Cameo to print and cut laptop stickers. It is precisely because I am very familiar with this workflow -- and the effort required -- that I don't want to use it for NASCAR laptop. I'm going with my original plan B, some lovely shiny tape, but the warning labels gave plan B a run for its money :-+ |
