Hello, What about labellers (Brother, Casio...). Brother has a lot of different = tapes (you can choose the size, the text and background colors, (the = background can be transparent)). They are very resistant, to water, heat, = even chemicals (and better looking than Casio tapes, IMHO). Some labellers = can be connected to a PC to create small logos, but they are quite = expensive. =20 I'm using a brother PT1800 and it's really fast and looks great... BTW, the idea of John Walker is really great too, I will try it ! Nicolas >>> John Walker 07/31/01 11:59AM >>> My favorite way to accomplish this is to layout how I want the panel to look in Autocad. You could of course use any graphics package or word processor for that matter. I then print a mirror image of the design onto a clear overhead slide. The I use a spray-on glue to attach the slide to the enclosure. By printing a mirror image, the toner is sealed between the slide and the enclosure so it can never be scratched off through normal use. Neat and clean!!
