I tried, but you may want to investigate using a smaller nozzle. Even with a .4mm nozzle, small, clear, recessed writing is a challenge.

I'm not sure if OP is still around but you could use this luggage tag customizer and make it say whatever you want.  It's almost like a business card and works for people who don't want to mess with a drafting program.
