Well, I gave it a try, but I had to give up.

Between the limitations of the self-service equipment at Kinko's and my
weak gimp skills, this idea just didn't seem to be going anywhere.  If
anyone's got access to a half-way decent printer, you might try running
off some of these:

This is the same thing in multiple forms: jpg, png, gif, ps and also
xcf, if you'd like to try cleaning it up in gimp somehow.

I wouldn't waste a lot of time on it: I probably should've gone with
a concept with a lot more contrast.
