Reproducing a dial?

[Reece]

I tried printing on clear labels and the color didn't come out right and the large label was very difficult to handle, to get on straight, with bubbles and such. Some of the photo papers are listed as good for decades, especially if protected from air. Another idea would be to print on a transparency such as for an overhead projector, and then put that over a piece of translucent (if necessary) or just white plastic, or whatever other color your background has to be.
