chiefwiggum Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 After years of talking about them the BOSS (dad) has decided it’s time to look into getting a “Computer Engraver†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I bought the Mastergrave Universal about 18 months ago and have had no problems whatsoever. Very easy software to use. Have also found Mastergrave very helpful with advice on engraving awkward items, and very good/quick supply of materials & giftware. I looked at the Suregrave Rotation as well but preferred Universal. Gravograph machines seemed a little more expensive at the time,although lots of users on here seem to use them. Great investment, especially for me as I run my shop alone so can setup an engraving and then carry on with something else while it is running Just a point on the untapped market of trophies and sports clubs.....I found that after spending nearly £15000 on a nice engraving machine, every bugger wants free engraving + discount on their orders, which I try not to give whenever possible as I dont make enough on the trophies to warrant my time engraving them for nought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibsjo(SCO) Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Gravograph. What more can I say? Ive got the IS200tx and M40g both machines running at the same kerching kerching kerching. Looking to buy? Ask ALL to come and show their wares gravo are brill at this. You always pay more for the best! But all prices are negotiable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 It's Gravograph all the way for me. I've got 4 of their machines is7000, is400volume x 2 & is200tx, The machines are without doubt the best on the market, and the after sales care I have received is second to none. The Volume is the Best machine by far in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 im a big fan of gravograph as well, what you will find is most people are happy with their own machine partly because they decided to buy that one and partly because they do not know the other makes. i find the software is a lot more compatible with shoe repairers who do not want to know how it works just get on with it but it equally at home with ones that want to know the ins and outs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I also think their machines look the part aswell. Other machines like mastergraves & suregraves look like they were made up as they went along I don't know if anyone else agrees, I just think Gravographs are a really profesional & impressive looking machine.

ironplanet uk900 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Iains right Paul, in the window. let people see it in action, its a great talking point when its in action. And that way its in peoples faces...sales sales £££££££. If you do purchase one, it would be advisable to make sure your covered with your insurance company and make sure you have an alarm system.

petercoulson Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 insurance? now theres a topic waiting to happen, i know a fair bit about insurance particularly under insurance but is there anyone very knowledgable to start a topic with particular reference to what happens when there is a problem and how insurance companies work out how little to pay out? i will do it if not because i firmly believe too many repairers do not understand how much they could lose out for just a few quid.
