I've asked for a sample.  I'll try and find some place locally that can use
the Metalphoto process and see what the cost is like.

After digging around on the Horizon site some more, the ID-MARK system
looks tolerable if a little expensive ( 10 10"x12" Black on Aluminum panels
for $170 or so )  I'm actually making a silkscreen right now and am gonna
play with just screening panels cause its insanely cheap costwise and not
terribly bad timewise.  I might try ID-MARK tho.  The Polyester sheets are
available in black on white which is the color I'm looking for.

A websearch for 3M Dynamark finds alot of simular systems also.
