    Dave and Jeffery I may be a little off base. But when we need to
    reproduce a logo for a customer, we use a local engraving company
    who makes magnesium dyes for printers who foil stamp (I'm sure
    most larger cities have one). What we do is give them camera
    ready artwork and tell them to photoetch as deep as possible into
    a 1mm sheet of magnesium (or whatever thickness we want). Its
    important to specify that you do not want a mirror image because
    thats what they usually do for printers. These usually come back
    very usable, they must be molded and then cast. Works pretty well
    and costs about $15.00. Hope this helps.
