[Boatanchors] Meter scale needed

[Al Parker]

Hi John,
	I've used a laser printer on photo paper, glued to the original scale. 
  It takes a little playing to get the scale right, and the ones I have 
done haven't seemed to age significantly.  Just think, even India ink on 
plain paper oughta last longer than your and my lifetimes ;-)   Maybe a 
little yellowing would enhance the ambiance.
tongue in cheekly yours,

Al, W8UT

I would be concerned about making one that would tend to fade or yellow with time. The scale is black on white so there would be no complications from multiple colors.
