Need help making campsite sign

[breick]

Here we go...I need your creative input. I want to take some of the designs like the Musket Mickey and the Lime Green Mickey and make a sign to put out in front of our campsite. I can print them out on my inkjet printer, but will the color hold up in the Florida sun and rain? Is there a type of paper that would hold up better? What about using the Kodak Picture Maker at Walmart? Or having them printed off at Kinko's? I could also laminate them or put them between two sheets of plexiglass to keep the rain out. After all this work, I would like this sign to last for more than one trip... Thanks.

When I made the picture of my brother (NTSammy5) to take to the MDGG, I lamintated it. He held up fine in the rain.

Don't know if it's a trade mark or copy right problem but if not you may be able to get vinyl stickers madeup which could be put on plexiglass which could be just leaned agianst something or hung from a stand depending on how big you make it just a qiuck thought

I think I'll try this...I'll print the pictures on the Picturemaker at Wal-mart and then laminate them. All of them will make a sort of collage on a piece of plexiglass sign to put in front of the campsite. I think it will hold up in the rain, but I'm wondering how quickly the colors will fade... Any other suggestions?

don't know but maybe there is some sort of anti-glare laminate, would that stop fading?

can you print on Clear Transparency paper or some sort of clear contact paper- than you would have stickers.
