Laser addition to screen print embroidery shop
« on: January 28, 2017, 04:35:41 PM »
hey everybody,
  i currently do screen print and embroidery as well as a little digital vinyl printing in house. we do commercial work but also have a pre print line with 5 retail locations. we were considering adding a laser engraver. we would use it mostly to make various widgets to sell in our retail stores. can anyone recommend a brand/style/size machine we should be looking at?
thanks,
tom

Universal Lasers and Epilogue are two good ones.

Even a 25-30 watt will do most things, it's all about your intended usage and throughput needs. 12 x 24 bed will do most things, take a look at getting a rotary attachment too.
