Longboard graphics and stuff.

[Taylor D8n]

What do professional longboard/skateboard companies use to make graphics on their boards? I know some of them use silkscreen. I usually use spraypaint and stencils, but I need a better way. Also, how do the companies seal in their graphic? I want my board to look professional and thick paint-on-polyurethane really doesn't look that great. It is too shiny and doesn't look very good. All thoughts are welcome.
