I've seen whistles with the number for the local rapid response hotline printed right on them. Must have been one of those fancy multi-filament printers.

Misunderstood, didn’t realize you meant color

~~Heat stamping might be quickest alternative. Should be rugged and aid low-vision use.~~

~~Full brass letterpress type sets and die can be pricy, but the cheap leather iron kits at craft shops commonly include small metal alphanumeric types that could be set (clamped) and affixed to your stamp (burning/soldering iron or pliers + hot plate/stove).~~

if it’s not multicolour then you can just make the printer leave indents for the letters (or print extra material to have it raised)

no need for post processing or extra equipment which slows down the process and adds extra work

I thought it was a matter of detail resolution not simply color. My bad.

detail resolution is amazing on 3d printers these days too!

the arachne wall generator is incredible for resolving fine details in things like text

Arachne settings allow the extruder to adjust its extrusion rate based on the model’s line width. This way, the extrusion rates change according to the model’s requirements, resulting in precise printing of the model’s varying shape.

You can choose this setting if you want to print thin features with more delicacy, and your print needs a smooth transition between wall counts.
