Silk screen for legend print is superior to TT on double sided boards.
I'd also think it would be good way to make front panels. I'm not
sure about for resist patterns since the resolution will be lower than
TT but if some one has that equipment available, no need to invest in
other stuff - make do with what you have. Not a bad philosophy.
I think you'd want ventilation no matter what. I do.
Again, we disagree on the perfection point but no need to rehash that.
