The website lists a product called "laser film". This is film that is
directly printed on in a standard laser printer or copier. I have not
contacted them yet so I don't know what the next step is in getting
this film to a screen printable material. Do you know?

How about QuickMark by 3M....also there's a PhotoMetal process,
your artwork applied to photosensitive aluminum. Exposed turns
black, letters stay aluminum colored.

Ok, your best bet is the visio version if you want all the detail and
want
to manipulate everthing. The biggest benefit is that it's also the
smallest
file. There are some labels that I forgot
to add, like TRUTRAK ADI, and CAUTION. You probably wouldn't
want my original for yours anyway....make one with your own N-Number
label
on it and stuff.
Just FYI: You don't really do this on your laser printer. You can print
it
there, but you really actually just email the file to the company, and
they
produce a photo positive printout from it. Then they use that to photo
expose the screen.
So it's reasonably easy to get one custom made for your own plane.
Small file size (Visio):
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/panel/circuits/N104CD breakers fuses switches.v
sd
Big Word Doc (5Mb):
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/panel/circuits/N104CD Panel Silkscreen.doc
Big .jpg (5Mb)
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/panel/circuits/Silkscreen Labels 13 17.jpg
HUGE TIF: (31M)
http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/panel/circuits/N104CD Silkscreen 13x17.tif
Also, this file is getting aged now, so some breaker sizes aren't
accurate,
fuses might not be, and not all switches are where they were originally
laid
out. Things change.

I havent been following this thread too close but to add my own
experience...I used full sheets of label clear label film..and did my
label drawings in MSWord an printed them on the colour laser
printer...Came out awesome with black lettering and blue borders.
I then cut around the labels with an exacto knife so that I would have
no label material outside the label border. Then I used clear removable
scotch tape on the front of the labels to peel off a whole line of
individual labels from the backing sheet in the exact spacing they are
when printed.
Now I could position a whole line of labels on the panel by placing the
scotch tape on the panel.
The downside is the label sheets come in packs of 20 so I have lots
spare if anyone wants a few to split the cost?
Labels are Avery clear full sheet Labels part number, 8665
I have used two labels so far and would recommend you have 5 full sheets
to allow for screw ups and the fact you will inevitably forget a crucial
label and you really want all your labels on one sheet, so 5 years from
now you can hit print and get another set.

Morning, Frank...
I like this idea...a lot.
The reason it appeals to me more than some of the other ideas I've seen
here, is that I have already laid out my panel in Visual Cadd, and have
reserved a layer for the labeling. When I'm ready to print the labels,
I only have to print the layer with the labeling on it...and printing
directly to the Avery clear, sticky backed labels is easy by just moving
the full size cadd drawing around on the 8 by 10 label surface then
printing.
Another thought...I can probably print out the instrument "holes" (the
layer I'm using to cut the holes in the panel) as well on the same
sheet, and use them for alignment!
The rest of your procedure with the 3M tape assures me that the
alignment remains the same as designed as I trim the label sheets.
Maybe a clear tape or finish might be needed over the printing after
installed...but easy to do...
I Like it!

Yes I did this on my zodiac some 6.5 years ago and the labels still look
great...This time I did a bit more with blue borders around every label
(last time I did not use borders on all switches and simply cut a whole
strip off the sheet and stuck it on the panel...Its oK but it could look
better.) It takes a bit of work cutting around all the labels but it is
really worth it.
It really does look hot, blue bordered labels on a white panel...Evryone
goes a little weak at the knees when they look at my panel...Smile
