Comment on Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way

I think I have glossy photo paper. I also had a few sheets of postcard size sticker paper that was not glossy and didn’t fade, but I recall it being stupid expensive, or that specific brand at least. I cannot remember the name. Would not survive the elements though.
I thought about laminating it but I wasn’t sure if the heat would fuck the adhesive

When I say laminate, I just mean the rolls of sticky back plastic. I don’t know if it’s called something else in your part of the world.

It’s the stuff we used to use to protect our exercise books at school. Acid free sticky tape (scotch tape in the US?) will also work for smaller stickers, just make sure the sort you use doesn’t yellow.
I did test the brand of vinyl paper I used with water and it did hold up. I’ve only had it on my bike for a few months, but so far it doesn’t seem to have yellowed or faded. I probably should have cut out the sticky back plastic to be bigger than the sticker though.

OHHH that kind of lamination. Completely forgot that was an option.
I was thinking about those laminating machines that fully seal the printouts with plastic sheets.
I’m going to look into getting my hands on some vinyl paper. I appreciate it, bud

No worries. Good luck!
