Flush text over textured sheet?

Putting text on 3d prints is somewhat easy on Prusa Slicer. However, how did Prusa put *Near* flush text on xLCD cover of the MK4?

Is clearly printed face down on a textured sheet and the text is slightly raised.

Mk4 LCD screen

Guessing the text here is done with an SVG. But the settings to make this work are unclear to me.

Greatly appreciated if i can get the secret receipt to this particular trick.

If you're referring to the "Original Prusa Mk4" text, there's no secret recipe. It's screen printed on the part with a UV printer.

If you don't have a UV printer in your arsenal, you can do similar, more simple stuff with a technique called "manual MMU". You can use multiple colors, but have to do all changes by hand on the printer, which is probably okay if you do not need it very often. I have done this a few times to put text labels on boxes. Search in the forum for more info. It has been explained several times how to do this and which settings in PrusaSlicer are necessary.
