Neat idea!. Hmm. Thinking about this, there's no reason you need the
silk-screen paper. If you have a color printer that can print on
transparancy paper, you can make the legend/keypad area yourself. Just print
it mirror image so the ink is protected. Then paint conductive ink either on
the backside or on a separate page. I think I must try this myself. BTW,
that product looks pretty cool.

Certainly looks like it could be used to make a mask for UV photo exposed
boards
if doing more than one off. Just how opaque is it to UV?
