Printing/coloring text like on the MK4 LCD cover

Hi,

I really like the aesthetics of printed cover of the MK4 LCD. As I understood, this is printed with PETG Galaxy Black on a textured sheet face down. Is that right? And how is it possible to print/colorize text ("ORIGINAL PRUSA MK4") or the "Reset" button like on this cover?

Thanks!

I Believe the graphics are printed on after the 3D print has been completed
 using a special printer... 
reset and the surround to the reset button are hard to print with a 3d printer... 

You can print text with a 3d printer... as above. 

lettering can be printed embossed and flush on a 3d printer
Flush prints are better printed face down than face up

but there are limits on size
reset and the button surround are probably too fine...

It's printed onto the part using a UV printer. You're never going to get this quality with a Mk4 or similar.
