For temporary exhibit labels here I use my trusty HP 2500CM loaded with
heavyweight and photo paper.  These print-offs get mounted on illustration
board or foam core.  My adhesive applicator of choice is the Rollataq, from
Light Impressions.  I use a roller/burnisher to create a little friction
heat to set the paper to the backing board.

The Rollataq works well about 90% of the time.  I find that thinner papers
have a tendency to bubble slightly.  Also, this is a one-shot process, so
get placement right the first time.

Still, it is cheap, and with zero budget for labels here, it works well.
