Just ran a trial print and paste up, it works perfectly, size was exactly right for my 140mm globe. Well done and thanks for sharing. Just wrestling with making the suspension system for the globe, which is rather tricky, then I'll attempt a final version. I'm using a plastic globe and just experimenting with what primer to use which will enable the water based paper adhesive to bond. Any thoughts on this much appreciated. I was actually very surprised that the inkjet printer ink did not run when soaked in water. Laser print will be a fall back if I run into problems.
