there was a trick someone mentioned on alt.bin.pic.radio about printing what
you want transferred onto your channel onto some photographic paper.
then you paint it over with Minwax C varnish. and you paint a light coat
onto the channel. a second coat is applied to the channel and then you put
the picture onto the channel and let it dry.
then when it is dry you can wash off the paper and the picture will remain.
I have only used this method for guitar pedals because it works well with
color pictures too.

For a one-off panel, there are a couple of techniques that might work
for you.

1. Mechanical engrave & fill.

2. Photo-engrave.

I suspect that the original poster has a situation like I do, and
probably a lot of people who have older equipment that gets handled a
lot. Many of the legends on my Soundcraft console are worn off. It's
quite impractical to remove the front panel from each worn module (at
least they're all on modules, which I can't say for my Mackie mixer)
and have them engraved.

I tried using some dry transfer lettering covered over with clear
tape, but that didn't look very good. I've looked into those Brother
(and the like) label makers that print on laminated tape, but none of
them have small and delicate enough fonts to fit in the tight space.

A good memory helps.
