“We engrave all of the signage for hotels (ADA braille, room numbers, directional, name badges, non-smoking signs, anything custom). The Vision 2448 can handle any type of sign that you need — we never have to outsource anything. [The Automatic Raster Braille pen] probably saves us over two hours of labor a day. The software is so easy to use and decreases our set up time by 50%. We can import all of our old files, and the service is top-notch!”
– Paul Spence (American Hotel Register)
“Vision really cares about helping you find the best solution, and with our staff located in multiple offices, InstaVision helped us in our choice of product and was especially effective for the question and answer session. The video brings a very personal, friendly and interactive feel to the session. We’ve had our 2550 for a year, it’s an amazing product!”
– Technology Manager (International Sign Headquarters)
“My Vision engraver has truly been a work horse and a boon to my business. Having never had hands on experience before with this type of equipment, I found that the software was easy to learn and the engraver easy to operate. I have certainly put it through its paces. I have kept this machine going for hours/days on end and have never had a problem with its performance.”
– Teresa Russell (Visual deSigns – Locust Grove, GA)
“Our company recently purchased a Vision Engraver to update the signage around our facility. The purchase included a four-hour training session in which Ken Morgan was my trainer. His session was great as he walked me though every aspect to become familiar with the engraver; from the out-of-box setup process, detailed explanations regarding the tool and accessories, creating and running a job, and all necessary maintenance for longevity of the tool. After the session was completed, Ken emailed a video of the training as a refresher should I have any questions about what we went over. He also included informative links found on the Vision Engravers website that includes various tips & tricks, additional clip art, available accessories, etc. Overall, I have been very pleased with our purchase and the training that Vision Engravers provided. I would recommend their products and services to anyone interested.”
