REFLECTOR: Placards

[Alex Balic]

You can take this file to kinkos, they can print it up with a laser printer
which uses toner and heat fusion to make the image- the image is waterproof,
but would need to coat the paper, or use the special paper mentioned

You need a weatherproof label.  Avery shows #15513 as weatherproof.  I have
some special paper I had made up for my business.  I've used it on my plane
and it works fine.  I can send you a sheet if you want.  It only works with
laser.

I was going to get some custom vinyl labels made for the 5 placards on my
panel, but I knew it was going to cost me more than $100, and it would be a
pain to make changes later if I needed to. So I Googled and found out that I
could print black background and white text on Avery shiping labels using
Word and a laser jet or ink jet printer. They came out very nice. My hangar
mate thought they were done professionally. 

 

The first time I did it the placards looked great for awhile, but then they
started getting all smudgy.  So I looked for some sealer in a spray can, and
found VitaClear Transfer Coat which is used for sealing decals on models, I
think. Now no smudges. I've attached the Word document of my placards in
case anyone wants to use them for a boilerplate for use on Avery 5263 2"x4"
adhesive shipping labels.
