PhotoScribe Technologies, a manufacturer of diamond laser inscription equipment, has announced a new series of four desktop Diamond Branding Systems targeted to independent retailers and small manufacturers. The company, headquartered in New York City, provides inscription equipment to most of the major international gem labs as well as diamond manufacturers, wholesalers, and large retailers.

The four new systems include the LMS 300, 350, 500, and 550. Prices range from $29,000 for the LMS 300 to $75,000 for the LMS 550.

The four new patented systems use high-powered lasers to quickly inscribe certificate numbers, text, logos, line art, 2-D barcodes, and even photographs into the surface of a diamond, gemstone, or other material. Inscription is possible even on a surface width equivalent to 1/100th the size of a human hair.

According to the company, all four systems are completely turnkey and user friendly; training takes only a few hours.
