Another method is to print the artwork for the panel out using a
laser printer, not inkjet, and then iron it on. You don't even
need to cover the finished artwork with a clear coat afterwards as
it is quite a tough finish by itself.

 .. about half way down, the component layout for a board has been
done using this method.

I've used draughting film, like tracing paper but heavier, as that
doesn't leave fibers embedded in the toner.

It's an easy method to try out if you have a laser printer and an
iron, best bit is if you do screw it up you can clean it off and try
again, though without solvent cleaning it off can be hard work.
