More on the Versalaser

Posted by michael on from the keep-remaining-fingers-out-of-the-machine dept.

A random reader writes: "In an article at PCMag.com, Bill Machrone describes what has to be the coolest printer ever (or close to it). A company called Versalaser sells a printer which uses a laser and can cut/write on everything from paper to wood to stone. Available in 25-50 Watt models, starting at only US$10,000. Great for the geek who must have it all! Unfortunately, Windows drivers only at this time." We mentioned this wondertool before.

  1. Just don't share it. by nairnr · · Score: 5, Funny
    Please for the love of god, don't set this up as a windows share. It is bad enough that we have people accidently printing email on our HP5000 4' plotters. No, you can print your email on wood!.

    I suspect God may have had one of these for the tablets for Moses...

      I accidently printed a win98 test page on a rather large HP plotter when I worked for FMC. Needless to say I am now the proud owner of a win98 poster size test page, D'OH!

    I think I'd like to have one ... but not with my son in the house - he be testing whether it could print on "dog".

    . . . will only cost $1000, and get bundled for free with new systems, but you'll need to buy $300 fusion plasma cartridges for them every few months that are designed to go critical and explode if you try to refill them.

    For now, I'll stick with an X-Acto knife and that wood burning kit I got at a garage sale.
