G R A P H I C S - P R O. C O M N O V E M B E R 2 0 2 2 • G R A P H I C S P R O 7 9 been nearly six years since we purchased an Epilog Fusion M2 laser engraver. When we pulled the trigger on purchasing the engraver, we still weren't sure where we would focus our efforts. ese machines are relatively pricey, especially at the larger size we chose to go with, so we knew we would need to develop a product or service that would be a moneymaker. Personalized items are probably the most common thing you see adver- tised. Companies like JDS Industries and Johnson Plastics make it easy to buy bulk, quality items that can be customized. We started in this area too, and we still offer personalized products, but the service that keeps our laser engraver the busiest came to us organically. Pre-taping sheets of material before engraving makes the finishing process much faster. Completed tags are bagged and labeled. Rotary attachments and specialized products like CerMark spray improve the engraving process.
