Not bad for the first try but I'm sure I can do better.
Yes I uded Tinnit.

I cut pieces of the WhiteTRF sightly larger then the board.  It was
easy to position correctly over the copy on the paper.  I did have to
tape it across the top (with a piece of Avery label and at each corner
on the last part through the printer) to keep the TRF from curling.
That was another problem with the larger board, I didn't anchor the
trailing edge corners.

THe smaller board 'would' have been perfect 'up close and personal' if
I hadn't run it through the printer twice.  Even with the slight
offset it is legible.  I 'thought' the second pass through the printer
was needid because the first board came out to light but I was wrong.
The first board/s TRF curled and the temp was too low (I think) when I
ran it through the laminator.

BTW I have asked Pulsar to klet me know how much the 8 in. x 15 Ft
bolt of WhiteTRF costs.  I'll let you know when they answer.
