printed panels

[Ken Stone]

The idea of printing panels is not new - a lot of us do it, however, in
the ones I've tried, varnishing them fails utterly. My printouts are
from a color laser printer, so the bond between the toner and the paper
is too weak to make varnishing viable - it crumbles so easily. However,
covering the printout with clear "contact" (sticky plastic used to cover
books) or lamenating it does the job.

Visit my web site to see some examples.

>Hi all,
>on the subject of front panels for modules I was wondering if anyone out there in diy -land has tried this idea?
>draw the required layout on the computer using a graphics program , print this  onto photo quality inkjet paper and spray mount it to your aluminium panel, then coat it with a spray on laquer to prevent scratching and just trim out the holes with a scalpel.
Doing this would allow you to colour code the various sockets or
controls.
