I printed it onto standard-sized labels (1" x 2.5" or whatever standard mailing labels are) that are made of adhesive backed foil. They were larger than the actual size specked in the code - I simply printed the correct size onto (into?) the label. The "printed" portion conforms to the black areas of the DX code, and the unprinted conform to the silver (conductive) areas. I carefully cut out some scotch tape and covered over the printed areas to make certain they were non-conductive. I then took a 400 ISO factory cannister, used it as my guide for placing the label, and stuck it onto a reloadable cannister. I think I'm going to try and also DX code the film latitude onto some of the labels I make for Tri-x that I will use in my PZ 1. If I'm not mistaken, there was a very interesting thread recently about the fact that the PZ 1 is one of a very few camera models that acutually made their cameras able to read this aspect of film and DX codes. What it has stored in its program to take advantage of this film latitude (which, on Tri-x, I'd say is at least two stops in overage and one stop in the underage exposure department...)
The whole affair of making these labels was rather labor-intensive-- but, if I can refine the process, and get some templates made, I'd be happy to submit them for anyone's use in the future.
