--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Bill Bradburry" The best way to label your panel that I have come across in the full sticky back full sheet Avery labels. They are clear #18665 or vellum like clear #53203. The sheets are 8.5 X 11 and are designed for ink jet printers. I made up my labels using Word and then printed the sheets and then cut apart as needed and applied to the panel. I even printed circles to correspond with the switch holes in the panel which helped me to align the labels when I applied to the panel. Then I just cut out the holes with a razor knife and installed the switches. Looks pretty darn good if I do say so myself. You can overspray them with clear lacquer if you feel you need to protect them better. Just keep the Word file and reprint if you want to replace or change. As it turns out, I am changing a lot of stuff and this makes that a snap. With a little planning, you can get the entire panel on 1 or 2 sheets and then cut with a scissors and apply. While you are getting everything to fit and align, you can print on regular paper and hold it over the location on the panel to see if it fits and looks like you want it to. You can get 10 sheets of the clear (18665) for $13. That is enough to label the panel of everybody you know and still have some left for changes! Hard to beat for the price!!

After a trial and error learning curve, I wasn't satisfied with the results. The problem was somewhat self-inflicted as I was trying to print a fairly small font and the screen printing process has some limitations in how a finely detailed an image prints. I was trying to do 16 pt and the edges were just not crisp enough for me. Larger block fonts of about 36 points look pretty good. They look nicely painted but not like computer print work. If I was doing large font work, I'd be happy with the look. It has more body, color vibrancy. Kind of like the difference between a beautifully rendered painting and a photo of the same subject. So that said, I'm done with my experiment and if someone else would like to try it, $25 gets the $85 kit of Red, Blue, Black, White paint, squeegees, 1 full sheet and about 3/4 sheet (8.5 x 11) of the artwork ready Hi-Res screen, laser printer transparencies for artwork, and instructions. Next experiment is vinyl decal with solvent based inks that should be compatible with the clear acrylic. Will post results.
