You no longer need to apply each letter separately. There are firms that can take your lines of text on computer disk and create lines of vinyl press type in a large selection of typefaces, type sizes, and colors (though matte black is still the best choice). Care must still be taken to affix the lines of text neatly, and you might need to cut out individual words in order to adjust the spacing. But it definitely takes less tijme than doing it letter by letter. Some graphic design houses, or signage companies, or places that can do silkscreening are able to do this. Cost depends on character size. It's definitely cheaper than silkscreening, though probably a bit more costly than buying packs of Chartpak or Letraset. Lucia I.
