None of the current Epsons are wide enough to print on the full
combine...you'd have to remove the dashboard, etc., and run the parts
through separately.  You don't want to use paper, as it affects fading.  As
an alternative, you could just remove the print head, with the wires
attached, hit 'print', and move the head back and forth over the part you
want to print on.  Start with 360 dpi, until you get used to it.

Would you be interested in doing some ink testing on your combine?  It would
be nice to know which inks hold up best to motor oil spills, diesel, grease,
and exhaust.  Willhelm will be envious. 8^)

Or, maybe you could laminate the labels between 2 thin Plexiglas sheets,
seal the edges with acrylic or epoxy, and glue or screw them in place.
