'08 PV labels [RE-wrenches]

[David Brearley]

We're paying enough for custom engraved labels these days that we are
looking to purchase our own tool.  We have honed in on the Roland EGX-20
desktop engraver:

Does anyone have experience with this device or similar products?

For years we've used Avery #5523 weatherproof laser labels. They are
standing up well. Some have been in the field close to five years. New York
state (NYSERDA) program inspectors like them too.
