Whatever you print them on you will have to cover them somehow. Inkjet ink turns into a mess when it gets wet - I doubt it will survive glow fuel.
You could probably print on regular paper then just cut off all of the blank paper. You could put clear paint or covering over it to protect it. You could also try printing a mirror image on a transparency and turning over so that the ink is on the bottom. That would be really tough.

You can get decal paper for ink jet printers from: www.beldecal.com. After printing coat with a fuel proof clear such as Krylon or lustercoat clear. They have both a clear decal paper for use on light (white) backgrounds and a white deacal for use on dark backgrounds.

Very easy to use and apply.

Be careful... inkjet printers ink will fade drastically in the sun....

Spitman,

Here is a web site that sells decal paper for inkjet and laser pritners. http://www.decalpaper.com The paper is like the decals that are made for plastic models, wet it and slide it off......

I would then follow the fuel proofing procedures either cover with clear monokote or some kind of LusterKote.
