'08 PV labels [RE-wrenches]

[Ray Walters]

<x-flowed>


Hi Ben;

We did our own tests and research last year. We found an outdoor  
sticker that is Laser printable that seems to hold up to our UV  
radiation (7000 ft elevation) from www.online labels.com
We tried white and metallic silver, seems we had a bit of trouble  
with the silver jamming in the printer.
We've had them out for about a year, but I can't tell you what  
they'll look like in 10. (faded, peeling off, ?)
Ask for the free sample pack. They were quite generous.
