<DIV>Brian,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have not had instrument panel labels printed, but ...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I use an old version of Corel Draw for similar type of stuff.</DIV>
<DIV>Nice because it can import CAD drawing information if you positioned
controls that way OR Eagle Board information exported as image OR as DXF using
one of their user programs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I suppose one could dimension stuff in Corel, but I don't.</DIV>
<DIV>From there any thing you produce in Corel can rendered to printer OR handed
to someone who does say screen printing or offset printing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From Corel I make sure fonts are embedded in the file OR make sure to
export file as postscript (Adobe Illustrator (.ai) or (.eps) Encapulated
post script.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The nice thing about these formats (lines and curves) is the printer
can render at whatever resolution is native to their machine OR use curve
information to drive say a vector based machine vinyl cutter, laser
whatever.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Current versions of Corel Draw are Expensive.</DIV>
<DIV>I use Version 8 which is 10 years old.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Learning curve is not bad if you want to position text. A little more to
edit curves (then you really do have learning curve)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some examples -- when we produce new Banner for DPRG -- they prefer vector
format</DIV>
<DIV>Same with donkey tee shirts, I had done -- </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>my 2.5 cents</DIV>
