    Be sure to do your math on this before you purchase. The
    computerized systems do some really amazing things, faster and better
    than any other method, BUT, can you realistically rationalize the
    cost? I have looked into Signature and other systems, and found that
    I simply could not spend enough time running the engraving machine to
    pay for itself, verses take myself away from far more profitable work
    at the bench. If you want to train a low wage hourly worker to run
    it, and have enough engraving work to cover machine expense, then
    great, but otherwise, I couldn't rationalize the REAL EXPENSE  of not
    performing bench work myself.
