matte film with the "non-removable adhesive from HELL". I pen plot on the
stuff (did you throw away your pen plotters???) with permanent (india) ink,
right from the CAD art, and VERYCAREFULLY place the adhesive sheet so as not
to get any AIRBUBBLES which if formed are FOREVERANDEVER. It is very durable,
there are some "band stickers" that have been outdoors on motor vehicles for
several years and show no signs of age... :-) Harry

I got a sample pack of the Dynalaser product from them. IMHO it sucks. The
adhesive is strictly "consumer grade". You'd do just as well with normal
self-adhesive laser printer paper and clear contact paper from the local
office supply store. Note that I'm just using that as a comparison - you
won't get a durable synth using that method either!
