Mounted Hardwear

I've made the front panel for the control rack. I used FrontDesigner 3.0 to do the artwork. Simple to use program - recommended. Printed the artwork out on to matte photographic paper. Two A4 sheets are needed to cover the 19 inch panel (but join is pretty much invisible). Covered the image side of the paper with a double sided acrylic adhesive film. This was then used to stick the photographic paper to the back of a piece of 0.75 mm polycarbonate sheet. Holes drilled out with a small bit thence hand reamer. Easily enough (apart from the bigger holes which, in hindsight, are best dealt with using a round file - not a big blacksmith's drill).

A bit of a long winded process, but not expensive (except in terms of my time!) - and gives a pretty durable/hard wearing front panel. By the way, the background colour is vanilla cream (#FCFBE3) and the text slate blue (#004080), font is Verdana.
