Question about printing graphics

[Sulla]

I am printing LCARS for some static PADD projects. Should I print my LCARS on regular sticky back paper/vinyl labels, or should I print them in reverse on transparencies laid over the plastic surface painted gloss black? The show PADDs never looked all that"shiny" like they had plastic screens or anything so I am wondering if the transparency idea might be too "off" for a PADD.

Thanks.

When I made mine I printed on matte photo paper and then overlaid it with a piece of clear transparency.

I take it that looked pretty good? How was the reflective "shine" of the transparency?
