    Galvo laser for card stock / paper - recommendations?

    Howdy everyone. I'm new so I apologize in advance if I break any etiquette and will not take offense at correction.

    I have a budget of $20,000 to $30,000. I am looking for anyone who uses galvo to cut cardstock FAST and CLEAN. I've done a proof of concept utilizing my paper (12" x 18", 12pt SBSC1S, Tango brand, popular cover stock in printing circles and great for small folding cartons) and an Epilog Mini 18. The result was beautiful, but way too slow. I'm looking to cut and score (kiss cut) 250 to 1,250 sheets per day. Simple vector dielines, no engraving.

    I'm hoping for an open architecture with no doors or cabinet like in this video:

    I am in talks with and have sent sample to Golden Laser, Rabbit Laser USA, and Trotec. Obviously I would love to be able to afford a Trotec Speedmarker CL or GS, but it will most likely be out of my price range, though the rep said I may be able to get it done since it would be a class IV setup with no cabinet expense. We'll see...

    Is anyone out there who cuts and scores cardstock on a daily basis using a galvo system (wedding invites, fold cartons, greeting cards, etc)? If so, may I purchase an hour of your time (I don't like to ask for free advice, time is money, I know that).
