I don't know how cheap it is and I've never used it, but I found what
looks like a way to automate epoxy ink serializing.

Check this out:  http://www.jantech.com/prntdies.htm

When you get to the page, scroll all the way down to the bottom, there's
a print head that indexes to the next number with every print stroke. 

I imagine that you'll need to have one of Jantech's printers, but hey,
if they can automate it for you it's worth it...
