These days, "archival quality, UV resistant ink" is available from
most inkjet manufacturers which, with a good clear coat, should make
very durable and highly attractive labels and placards.

AlumaJet sheets aren't cheap at $60 for a 10 sheet pack but the
quality might be worth it for some.

I started using the AlumaJet for the name plates on my Craggy Aero
Ultimate Flight Computer. It requires a J path printer for the .005"
tickness or straight path printer for the thicker sheets. Most
standard printers won't work as they bend the paper 180 degrees.
Nice stuff and would work well for cockpit templates.
