I wonder if, with experiment on sizing the image, it might even be possible to make a graduated dial by wrapping a decal round it - the numbers would look better than I can do with a punch. It would probably need a few coats of protective varnish.

One slight problem is that I only have a monochrome laser printer, and I don't know if toner would take on the decal paper, or if the paper would withstand the printer's heater.

Andy I have used this before http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/productcat.asp?parentcatname=Laser%20Printable%20Vinyl&parentcat=40
and it works a treat


One thing to bear in mind is that not all printers print at the correct size well mine don't  :scratch:
I'm trying to make a face plate for another project and my new kodak is always the wrong size yet my old cannon laser is perfect
