You're getting confused, I think. Any laser writer or copier can be fed
sheets of clear adhesive acetate. It comes in glossy or matte and is often
called applique film. You can find it in office supply stores, arts stores
or catalogues. Look for the kind that says it will stand up to the heat of
a laser or high speed copier. Print out your text on white paper and
photo-copy it onto the acetate, or just hand-feed the acetate to your laser
(I don't think this works with ink jet). Then you trim it down to whatever
size you need and apply. This is a really simple process.

Good luck,
