Depends on how good your printer is! Also you must have brilliant Letraset skill!
The problem with computer printers is that few take metal or plastic panels. But I've done new scales for replacement meters on AVO valve testers many times and it wouldn't have been as good with Letraset. I used spray clear acrylic on 1200 dpi colour laser printed on 100gm stock glued to the metal meter plate.
I used to use it. The PC print to mask to screen printing we did in early 1980s was very expensive compared to Letraset, but more durable and accurate.
I last taped a layout on polyester using letraset style pads for ICs in 1982 for a Z80 based Eurocard. Been CAD since.
