My plan is to print with an inkjet printer, and I bought a can of clear spray acrylic that I intend to use to "seal" it. (I don't have any of the clear vinyl sheets to use as a top layer, but I have considered that option.

I was pretty happy with the acrylic spray treatment when I tried it, except for the toner from the laser printer flaking off at the edges of the cuts. It may be that the inkjet ink will bind better and not have that effect. I think it will have a better "feel" since the keyboard button labels will be thinner.

I spent a little time trying to pick the colors.. ultimately, the darker green I ended up with was inspired by the HP 48 that I had. But the black scheme on the 40gs also would look sharp and provide better contrast I suspect.
