Re: Am i missing something; Backlighting panels I'm struggling
Hi folks
Have posted this elsewhere on the forum, but I have used blank Letraset sheet which can be passed through a mono laser. Do your panel design in say Corel Draw, place a back layer of chosen gray, and add lettering and legend in white. The laser can't print white so the lettering can easily be backlit with sharp results. Peel off the backing and carefully apply to white acrylic perspex and not only do you have a fine looking panel but the positions of where to drill (presuming you maked these on the design too)
For any legends say around a knob, use the website "Scaleomatic" which will create the image as a EPS file, which can be imported into Corel and placed into your design. Ensure the grey background is set as the rear layer.
I would suggest putting the letraset through twice to get the density.
The letraset can be bought on ebay - Item no. 190324505070
Hope you find this useful
Regards
Richard
