Print in reverse onto transparent film, then use spray adhesive. That
way the markings are protected.


you have to be careful of transparent film as most laser printers can't take it as they melt. You can get laserwriter compatable stuff. We've had a few people do it and the roller needs replacing.
I use an inkjet for such things.


I print in reverse onto laser-grade film which can then be stuck on to
a flat surface. Maybe using that meltable tape used for sticking
fabric together with a hot iron. If you can accept a crap finish,
laser print in reverse on ordinary paper then iron it on - the toner
melts onto to the surface.
