I'm baffled at to how to put the finishing touches on my latest project...

I have the silkscreen layer, minus the components, in a JPG (or whatever can work), and need to transfer it onto a black project box.

Thought that I could use white TRF, but I don't think the box could handle the heat required.

Any suggestions? Or should I just give up, and write the stuff by hand?

TIA...Eric

You could try printing on to some clear sticker material available for ink jet printers.

That's a thought. Thanks for the input.

I'm not sure how well it will work against a black background since you can't print in white but you can also get a version that has a white background you could print on in black using a negative image.

hit the art store up and look for the rub on letters they are very nice and can have a light spray of urathane sprayed over then to protect them

Never used the paper for decals but works great for making PCB's.
