All of the responses above are dead-on. I used cheap stick-in-a-gift-box tissue, it was about $1.00 for 40 sheets. I taped both the leading and trailing edges to an 8.5 x 11 paper. I first tried only the leading edge, but found that the printer feeding system kinda chewed up the tissue.

I got the best results form my HP 722 inkjet at home. I tried two differend laser printers at work but they had their problems. I think the paper path of the lasers is to complicated (required of laser printing) and the feed system a little too forceful.

When I set the tissue under a layer of epoxy, I couldn't avoid some small wrinkles and air pockets. I cut them with a raxor and they released the air and became flat.

I concidered covering the personallity burns with an image, but was concerned that I wouldn't get it smooth enough on the curved hull.
