essexlad18 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 We have just bought an engraving machine the fx5. I also want to be able to laser text onto leather but the prices I have seen just don't stack up for me. Is there an entry level machine that we could use for this? We are not interested in any chinese imports either lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beware Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Entry level from Gravograph would be the LS100 Energy. 25w glass tube CO2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 What about something like this as an entry into the market...http://www.fastfoil.co.uk/hot-foil-printing-machines.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexlad18 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 thanks for the feedback guys, the foil machine looks good I am going to look into that some more like the look it achieves. thanks very much for that. LS100 Energy, what do these go for brand new? Is it a bad idea to buy 2nd hand on ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
