I agree.

For small projects I've been printing full color with a black background on 
regular paper with a really good laser printer I have access to.  Laminate the 
paper, trim and glue it to the panel.  It really looks professional for 
something that costs me next to nothing.

You could get started with silk screening for $100-$200.  That's probably too 
much for a single project, but if you plan to do a lot of PC boards (or T 
shirts) you could get a lot of use out of a modest setup.
