Abstract: A message tape for instrument display systems includes laminations of metallic and plastic materials. Messages are etched through a metallic lamination and dyes are applied through the etchings to provide color coding without introducing dimensional buildups. The dyes are retained by a plastic backing lamination. The tape has the main advantage of being useful at elevated operating temperatures and ancillary advantages of improved image quality and lighting efficiency.
