All good points from everyone.

When I wrote that I was considering printing on a card or paper I was thinking in terms of viewing it from the front with a freznel magnifying lens.

I didn't realize that lamination might ruin the visibility of the text. Does anyone know of an alternative to lamination that can waterproof the text without ruining the visibility?

As far as copyrights go, I don't plan on reproducing the text and selling it for profit. So I won't be breaking any laws.

I'm also considering having the text printed by a place like Kinkos or other some print center. Maybe they can print text at an even smaller print than a common consumer printer can.
