    What he is suggesting is to make the jig so that you load in a group of pens but stagger the layout so that only one is engraving at a time. In the run pen one engrave then pen 2 and so forth. They will engrave much faster that way rather than the laser traveling across the table doin 3-5 logos at one time.

    Yes, like Sandy and Tom said, Scott's way works good too if you don't mind setting up the color mapping option,
    I hated it because the first time I did it, the grayscale depths didn't work (DOH) and I messed up quite a few solid walnut plaques $$$$. I didn't notice until I colorfilled them and I had them running 3 wide.This wouldn't matter in this application.
