Hi Shannon,
We print out our numbers on acid free paper using an inkjet printer
(specifically an Epson Stylus Color 800).  We print them out of an Excel
spreadsheet because we can get the point size down to 6 point (Microsoft
Word only goes as small as 8 point).  We then cut up the numbers and apply
them with tweezers.  We apply a base coat of B-72 in acetone and place the
number in the still wet base coat.  We then apply a final coat over the
still wet B-72 and paper number.  It is very legible, fast, easy,
efficient and we have had no problem with the ink running or fading.
Sincerely,
David Ryan
