Hehe...

Although i lurk here, i dont really post as i assumed this was a group run by bride chamber, and i thought it would be in poor taste to start muttering about cnc work.

CNC engraving will never be able to match screening on price for bulk orders, and screening will never be able to match CNC work on 1-off pricing.

So, although theyre different routes to the same end, i dont think that they will ever compete with one another on the same job.

I was surprised at Guy's comment about Schaeffer being inaccurate?

>>They are not very precise.

Guy, could you enlarge on that? Ive heard some complaints about shaeffer in the past, but not really heard why.

(There is no real reason i can see why the positioning [of the cutter, be it laser or mechanical] should be any different with either technique)

Its simple as im curious - im not trying to stand up for Shaeffer or anything!
