Q1engravers it is! Thanks! I had done a search on Q1 and on QualityOne and on Engravers but not in the right combination.

Jim,
I use the Q1 Penwriter (whatever it's named). It's a great little tool. There are the other economy methods mentioned above that work just fine in a pinch. I'd just mention to your wife that it would make for a nice stocking stuffer. :D

Dave,
I ordered abunch of stuff from Q1 including the penwriter. I hear from someone else the pen thigies break a lot but will give it a try anyhow. If I was using a pen today instead of the real graver, I would not be looking for a jeweler to fix my inadvertent engrave.
I wonder if anyone has used their Heated Pen Foil Marking? It sounds interesting.
Thanks!
Jim

Jim,
I use my Q1 Penwriter almost daily. It's 6 years old, but as good as new. If it ever does break, it will not be from product defect, but from operator error.
I know that John Stangle purchased and has used the Heated Pen Fol Marker. He indicated that it did a decent job with regular text, but larger fill areas generated very mixed results. He said he still hasn't used it much.
Back to work. Christmas deadlines calling! :-) :-) :-) :-)

I have the IS400 also.. You mentioned changing the color of letters that didn't engrave and then just engraving those...
Didn't know anything about that... would you be able to further explain that point? Thanks much ...
Right now I just re-engrave the whole line if something misses...
Best,
Steve

On the left hand toolbar is an icon with three color squares right near the bottom of the bar. Click on that, it is the tool selection and setup pop-up.
First highlight the letters, then double click on the color to change it. You have to then select 'Properties' and set it up as another bit, making sure you set the depth and on the other tab set the motor and the bottom icon which is pause to change tools. Why it defaults to 0.000 depth and not to pause when you set up another tool is beyond me.
This is in Gravostyle98, not sure if it is there in the other Gravostyle versions.

Thanks.. I'll have to try it next time I "fazool" a line.
