    Looking for recommendations on License Plate Frame engraver

    I am a newbie who's looking at starting a license plate frame engaving business out of the country and I need help in selecting the best engraver/machine that'll not cost an arm and a leg but will be easy to use and efficient among other qualities. I need to be able to create about 100 plates a day if possible. I am new in this and need any help I can get.

    This'll be for Chrome and plastic material. You've probably seen them on most cars especially with dealership frames. Looking for one that can engrave about 200 a day or there about.

    Thanks

    The chrome part might be a problem. Its reflective to the laser beam. Some types of plastics will do fine, others will not. PVC is a no no because of the chorine which is deadly and corrosive. You need to get a few samples of the material and have your laser dealer engrave one with his machine before you buy. A true 50 watt CO2 might work, but you need to research. The eBay purchased ones with No support are the ones you see on here all the time looking for help.
