If you could get them printed onto the right material they would look heaps better.
I think the design is good, but the finish isn't right.
I did think about whether it would be possible to print a design onto acetate sheets i.e the ones used for overhead projectors.
I know it is possible to get ones that are laser printer friendly and I think that most laser printers produce a matt finish, so it is just possible this would provide the look you need.
I think this approach would have some potential issues:
a) It's possible that the black toner wouldn't be thick enoiugh to conceal the light shining through.
A possible work around for this would be to print one copy of the dials with the red lettering etc.
in place and another copy of the dials with white replacing the red.
On acetate these white areas would print out as transparent.
You could then double up the sheets to make the black areas twice as thick.
b) As I mention above, any white areas appear transparent when printed onto acetate, so you would need to find something like a white piece of acetate to sandwich behind the main dial sheet so the transparent areas become white.
Anyway this is just an Idea, I did do some experiments with this several years ago and the results seemed quite promising.
If you have a colour laser printer it might be worth experimenting.
