I want to help my friend Steven help get people to register for his workshop.

    Why are you putting them outside in the weather?

    You'll need to buy them.

    Get 16pt UV stock and you'll be good.

    Lamination at Staples. Works like a charm.

    Thank you.

    What is the workshop about? (Who'd be interested in that and where do those persons congregate?)

    It appeals to the elderly, put by/next to/in front of one of those condo associations where you have to be 55 or older.

    If it appeals to Pentecostal women, talk to a Pentecostal church.

    If it appeals to people who just have to have a morning StarBucks or they're gonna die, at/next to Starbucks coffee shops.

    If they appeal to nudist, on a nudist (preferably young and attractive).

    I mean, you did not give enough info to get a good answer.

    lets start with this... I would suggest using a laser printer on presentation paper. gives you maximum ink clarity, and because its laser ink, the UV abilities will be decent.

    I would suggest something like this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Duck-Lami...&wl13=&veh=sem

    you could use it for either 1 sided or 2 sided lamination. a bit of hand work would be needed, but the overall expense is decently low, and would get the job done.

    If there is a will, there is a way

      I use this to create WHITE BOARDS. Pick up a couple of poster board pieces, cut to whatever size you want, use the duck laminate. Viola a White Board. Use erasable dry markers.

      Great for everything. I have an Officejet 7610 Grand and print out posters all the time, use the duck...easy peasy signs, Thanks savidge4.

        Gordon,

        They make "cold Laminates" in rolls like this: https://www.usi-laminate.com/store/w...456&Level2=701 this one I picked because it says "dry erase" but there are others that are much cheaper and still have the large format size ( IE 36" or greater )

        I use both cold and hot laminate. Cold overall is a bit more flexible - less rigid. The Officejet 7610 Grand is a pretty decent printer. The ink refill cost is pretty decent. I have an ancient Officejet 1000c I use pretty regularly. The ability to do 11x17 prints with out to much thought is pretty nice. And when you want to do 2 sided.. registry is pretty spot on, so you can bang out good looking newsletters.

    Cafes, bookstores, public kiosks, libraries, laundrymats, coffeeshops.....

    It will take more than you think and you need to do it on a regular basis. I would create a route and post to it once or twice a month.

    I guess you can print it on plastic. It will surely be able to withstand such things.
