Brian,
Several major reasons for using decals over tampo pad print, if cost is the issue:-
1/ No etched ink print plate costs, just digi print onto sticky backed vinyl
2/ No jig holders tools required to hold shell steady during print
3/ No print machine time
4/ Less operator cost
5/ Less body shell wastage (if the operator of the print machine goofs on any one of the ink prints then the entire body is scrapped). The sticky decals can be peeled off and repositioned.
Scalextric will save a stack of cash if they move over to this method.
