For small runs where the economics of screen printing don't work out I
prefer to use a photo process like MetalPhoto. You should be able to find a
number of companies able to provide a service for you - the panels I made
for CESYG modules were done by a couple of firms here in the UK.

 I recommend you work with the company you choose - they can often be very
helpful when it comes to what is possible, what files to provide, what you
can do to get a better price, etc.

Cheers
Neil
