Newbie Needs Help - Fiberglass Graphics Film?

I'm brand new here and looking for advice / guidance. Not sure if I posted this in the right forum?

Here's the scoop...
My 11 year old daughter broke her leg sledding two weeks ago...had to have extensive surgery to repair the break. Big bummer! She's in a full length, fiberglass leg cast. We want to decorate her cast with some graphics and cheer her up a bit. A friend of ours created a custom cartoon of a "fairy" that we wanted to put on the cast. I have a high resolution TIFF of it. I found two companies that provide graphics or wraps for fiberglass casts but they will only use their graphics, they can't use our custom art because of copyright concerns which I can respect (looks a little too much like Tinkerbell).

I'm an IT "techie" so I'm trying to figure out a way to do this on our own. I've got access to high end laser and inkjet printers..... Can someone help me determine the process, products, films, etc. that were used to make these?

This is just for our little personal project..... Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry bout your daughter. So are you in the sign biz? The normal vehicle wrap material I do not think would stay on if it got wet in the shower. I think water would come up from below and it would come off. Wish I was more help. Do like I did, airbrush some stuff on the cast. I have done some killer ones (I grew up BMX racing and skateboarding so lots of casts for me and my friends).
