I have panels at a silkscreener this very instant, including a DSC. I'd be
interested in comparing costs with you afterwards. Several of us are
designing panel graphics in CorelDraw, which Paul uses. In fact, I have
CorelDraw templates with which you can knock out a design easily. It has
jacks, knobs, and switches on separate layers, so you just delete the
controls you don't want, and rename them.
If you don't have CorelDraw, you can pick it up on eBay like I did for about
$20.00 (for CorelDraw version 7).
In addition, I've designed and had made a steel drill template which you
bolt on for easy placement of holes. Other guys have had success with a
spring loaded center punch, applied over a taped on graphic.
