[sdiy] Front Panel blues

Also it turns out the Lazertran material can stretch if you squeegee to hard, and shrink if the water is too hot. And you have to be careful with the printer. Some get too hot for Lazertran. I'm using an old HP 6P, but it has scaling issues on the output. I use center marks on the graphics to locate the holes for punching. My last panel came out oversized.

Hey,

I've been using photo paper for making diy front panels. It works great but has a few drawbacks. A friend told me about Lazertran. He uses the bake-on method where the printing is on the underside where its protected. I tried it twice with dismal results. I've tried printing on transparency materiel and using double-sided tape but the tape shows too much. Does anyone have another method of printing on clear material and attaching it onto aluminum panels?

Thanks!
