Hi Lou and all. We dove all in and got a Vision Engraving machine. They offer several models and the most basic version works just fine. It was a big investment but we can make our own placatds in the same day. We have a dedicated cheap laptop and a vacuum attachment they sell which keeps the work area clean. There was a learning curve but we won after a bit. Its really nice to have and to have the flexibility makes that an aspect of job management much less complicated. My guess is that it will take 3-4 years to pay for itself. We like having it and my only regret us that we didnt get one sooner.
