    I was probably one of the first people to buy the original unit sold under
    a different name, perhaps 12 years ago... I did a LOT of work with it;
    nameplates,  logos, artistic images. The problem you run into is in burning
    out the photopolymer material. It destroys the investment. I'm writing a
    book with a section about it, explaining the entire problem, and all the
    different fixes. I'm considering publishing just the section on
    photopolymers, your interest has aroused mine to finish it. I say go ahead
    and buy the unit, I can help you through the difficulties. If you have
    CorelDRAW, you can make tons of designs. I started out using transfer
    lettering and copy machines, eventually bought a used copy camera, used
    service bureaus which produced 2400 dpi resolution (Linotronic) images... I
    was into it for years until I started milling the images so I could get
    true 3-d logos. The Photopolymer method will give you one level of etch,
    although fine lines will not etch all the way through, producing apparent
    multiple levels of etch. You can also texture the background... And of
    course you can etch clear through to the removable backing... when you
    purchase the unit, post a note then the fun will begin...  :)
