Thank you! Any others care to respond on their experiences with laser
markers?

I wasn't too involved in the process, but we recently procured and are
using a system from Control Micro Systems
(http://www.cmslaser.com/pcb/html/pcbmarking.php). We validated its use
on a variety of board types and other materials. It's CO2, so it won't
etch metals, but if needed, a coat of ink can be applied to metal
surfaces which is then permanently 'cured' on where hit by the laser.

Hi folks,
I am looking at purchasing a laser marking system for the purpose of
laser etching the board serial number, part number, etc.
I have little experience with this type of process, and which systems
are better than others, etc.
Any feedback you care to share with me? Labels and ink stamping are not
an option in this case.
