For the framing, I developed a technique to treat the paper like a decal. This works for card stock as opposed to copy paper.

After printing the frame, remove all the underlayers of cardstock leaving only that layer that captures and holds the ink imprint.

The ink layer is remarkably thin. Apply this to the canopy, inside and out with your favorite glue. There is the slightest edge that already has the ink impregnated. It's most convincing and easy to do.

BTW, your vacform setup is very professionally built. Allow me to suggest that you mount the vacuum core from an old vacuum cleaner. That's my set up.
