Hello,
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong category. Seemed like the best place...
Does anyone have any suggestions for an easy at home or inexpensive professional service means of adding custom logos and / or rear & front panel decorations and text to enclosures? Admittedly, a custom front panel would be the best path, but often that can be very cost prohibitive.
One off professional silk screening is very expensive and after trying a number of 'at home' screening products and heat transfer solutions, nothing seems to work with even marginal quality. I've tried using custom decals that at first seem to work ok, but seems that when devices get hot, these decals tend to break up and fall apart.
I see DIY projects that look very professional here and there - some with trademarked logos which most if not all professional service providers won't accept - and have wondered how these enclosures are being decorated without costing more than the actual project parts in the first place. For example, there seems to be quite a few DIY LA2A build pictures out on the Interweb with the Teletronix trade name emblazoned on the front panel.
Thanks in advance!
Greg
