Any suggestions for worn or faded CPC6128 key labels?

My CPC6128 has some badly worn keys labels.
Some I've remedied (very messily) with a bit of black permanent marker.
Other than finding another 2nd hand CPC to cannibalism the keys from, is there any other solution such as stickers?
Does anyone sell stickers for CPC keys?
Is there some more "professional" method to restore the image onto the keys?
CPC6128 modded with ABBA switch. External 5.25" floppy drive with side switch and Multiface 2. Now also sporting a joystick splitter and M4 WiFi board.

There are cheaper Dymo printers too, I think the quality is the same as they use the same tapes?

Bryce

Yes, but the one I chose has a few advantages over the others. The software is installed in the printer, so you can connect and use it on any computer without having to install anything. It also takes up very little space.

Ah yes, but I was thinking of the handheld ones.

They are fine for small labels, but you have to type on a microscopic keyboard and there's no way of doing copy/paste or feeding them from the contents of an Excel sheet etc.

Definitely, but I thought we were talking about letters and keys😀

You don't choose a device for just the job you want to do first.
