Michael has a real nice thread going in regards to purchasing an "inexpensive" Chinese made laser.
http://www.penturners.org/forum/f30/chinese-laser-engraver-140404/
Rather than adding my personal thoughts on the subject matter, I decided to start this discussion. Like others, I have been debating as to whether or not I should purchase a laser to help with promoting some of the items that I make. It became a no brainer when one of the IAP members here was kind enough to do a test run on the Chinese laser using my logo. Glad to say that I am pleased with the results (picture) attached. However my story does not end there. As an informal and non-scientific experiment, I got another friend to do a similar test with his rather expensive laser using the same logo.
Remember that one is $90 and the other is priced in the thousands. This is what I would like to share with the folks here on IAP. Not trying to engage in any heated discussion as to the merit of one machine or another. Just look at the photos as they are merely intended as "food for thought". Which image is from the cheapie laser and which is from the >$$$$$$laser?:biggrin:
