Hi! I am trying out a new label method right now: Avery clear labels (available in sizes up to 8 1/2 x 11, at business supply stores) printed onto with a colour inkjet printer, with labels typeset in PageMaker, which is a professioanal typesetting program; you could use any word processing program. Unfortunately the labels take the paint off the wall when removed, but they are repositionable during installation, if you're sure not to burnish them down until they're exactly where you want them. I don't know their long-term durability yet, but they look promising. I hope this is useful.

To all concerned:

We are looking for information on producing in-house exhibit labels (text
only).  Specifically, we are looking for recommendations on equipment and
software.  Thank you for your help.
