I just happen to own a silk screen business (among other things) and I was
going to do just that, so anyone who wants their panels done can contact me
and I will do the work for reasonable fee- really reasonable if you already
have the correct artwork on a positive film or some type of graphics file-
color(s) not a problem flat objects preferred, but I can handle some that
have slight curve to them, major curves require a different but related
process that I do not cover.

Al,
I used to make one-of-a-kind electronics systems for research experiments.
I tried all kinds of letter transfer methods to label the controls on the
panels. The only labels I ever found that were able to withstand people's
fingers and still look nice were silkscreened onto the panel. Silkscreening
is a bear on curved surfaces but if you're careful and take your time you
can get nice looking labels. Ok, I admit it, silkscreening is a bear on
flat surfaces also, AND there is some equipment involved. Talk to
knowledgeable people in an art supply store. Ask for someone who has
actually done silkscreening.

I'm sure that would result in professional looking and long-lasting
labels, but a level of effort beyond where I will go. The laser printed
clear adhesive label sounds easy enough, and if they show wear or come off;
just print a new one.
