Laser print onto transparency sheets (like we used to have when we used OHPs)?  
Assuming you can still get laser printer/photocopier safe transparency 
sheets.  Print it backwards so that the other side of the transparency 
protects the artwork.  Actually, there used to be inkjet versions of the 
transparency film.  Can you still get /them/?

Use a pen-plotter with permanent ink?  Again, plot it backwards on the back 
side of the perspex then the front side will protect the image from being 
scratched.

Use glass instead of perspex and try the toner-transfer method (as for PCBs).
