Hi there everyone. I am currently outsourcing production of my "Wood Murals" of race tracks that I sell. I am wanting to buy my own laser soon so that I can start producing them in-house. The sizes of the Murals are 17"x11" for the smaller size, and 24"x16" for the larger size. Can anyone recommend a laser that would work for my needs? Obviously I'd like to get a machine that is of good quality, but I don't need anything that is overly expensive.

The wood I am using is a 1/4" thick UV Coated Birch. The operator who is making them for me currently is then using some sort of black powder which she sprinkles over the wood to make the black contrast super dark.

I have attached a few pictures of the product for you guys. Thank you so much in advance!

EDIT: I forgot to mention, we have extensive CNC Router expertise, but very little Laser expertise. Software / File concerns should not play in to your recommendation, as I am confident that this will not be a big hurdle for us.
