A relatively simple and inexpensive way is to use a laser printer.
Print a _mirror image_ of your desired decal onto an overhead
transparency sheet.  Then spray-paint the _toner_ side with a nice
color.  Now, when you look through the sheet, you have a beautiful
label.  True, it's not a decal per se, but it's very nice.  Works best
if you make it to cover the entire front panel.  If you want colored
printing, you'll have to use colored toner.

I saw a variation on this in Midnight Engineering magazine a while
back.

If you don't mind having the toner exposed (where it might get
scratched off) there are several companies which sell clear
adhesive-backed sheets for laser printers.  These make passable
decals, and you can even use those "colorization" kits to snazz things
up.
