With chemical etching using Press and Peel transfer film, [[toner transfer]] or lacquer, masking areas of the panel from the etchant.<ref>[http://diy-guitar-effects.tumblr.com/etching How I Do Etching], DIY Guitar Effects</ref> A variety of etchants can be used, taking into consideration what type of metals is used for the panel. This can be hazardous, so some care is needed in dealing with whatever chemicals are used as well as with the process itself. Safer methods are described at [http://www.nontoxicprint.com/etchcopperandbrass.htm Non-toxic method for etching copper and brass].<ref name="tips" />
After 1965 all Moog modules panels were etched using black anodized aluminum coated with a photosensitive resist, known as Fotofoil. Where the panel had been exposed through a photographic film the resist remained. Immersing the panel in lye (sodium hydroxide) then etched the parts not protected.<ref>[

=== Lazertran ===
Water-slide decal paper from [http://lazertran.com/ Lazertran] is a flexible method for producing a hard wearing transparent finish, approaching silk screen for quality. The image for transferring is printed mirrored with a toner based laser printer. The sheet is then soaked in water to detach the decal which is then placed on the panel toner side down. Heating the panel later in an oven bonds the toner to the surface. Otherwise use an aerosol lacquer to protect it.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170424043832/http://www.strings.ph.qmul.ac.uk/~thomas/synthdiy/frontpanel.htm Waterslide Decal (Lazertran Paper)], Front Panel Construction in Synthesizer Projects, Steven Thomas</ref><ref>[http://clacktronics.co.uk/research/lazertran/ Using Lazertran on Metal], Clacktronics, Ben Barwise</ref><ref>In the comments to [http://www.matrixsynth.com/2007/03/grant-richter-on-cutting-down-modular.html Grant Richter on Cutting Down Modular Costs], Matrixsynth, March 2007</ref>
