I print mine on a piece of the fabric or something coordinating with the quilt, which is plain enough to read the wording. I use my ink jet printer. Some time ago, I bought some laminating sheets. These sheets are on a plain backing and are sticky on one side. I peel off the plain backing a put my fabric (cut to 8 1/2 x 11) on the sticky side and it goes through my printer very nicely. I can then remove the fabric, cut it to size and applique it onto the back of the quilt.
