Where can I find black letters that I can apply to a chassis to mark what a control/switch/etc does, such as an indicator lamp "Power Supply 1 Ready".

    Print the lettering with your inkjet printer using special transparency film designed for inkjet printers - available at your favorite office supply store.

    You can usually get vinyl lettering kits from art supply or office supply stores. Probably from Wal-mart, too.

    You can also get dry transfer (rub on) lettering that works pretty good as long as you spray some kind of clear coat over it for protection.

    For $15.00 I can make panels with adhesive backing full 4 color process 230 line screen printed subsurface on Lexan

    Sheet size 18" x 12", Live image area 17" x 11.75" 3M barrier white adhesive (it has a white background layer and a gray layer so it is very opaque.

    All you need to do is download your file , photo shop, illustrator, quark, tiff, jpg whatever. I will step up on sheet to get best use of material.

    Turn around is 1 Week Maximum usually I can send out the same day.

    So use my $300,000 dollar printer and make some really nice professional panels for your masterpiece.

    PM for more details.

    Re-arrange what's inside the box then...
    Think outside the BOX!
