[sdiy] Front Panel blues

[Paul Perry]

Screen printing can be great - but it is pretty expensive for a single or 
just a few.
Plus, screening on metal isn't as easy as doing a t-shirt, you need special 
ink & it really should be baked as well if you don't want it to be 
scratchable.
I would put screening panels at a notch higher in difficulty than making 
PCBs.
