New Member ... looking for advice on a printer die cutter for small runs.

Thank you for letting me join Signs 101, I am a new member and would like to introduce myself. My name is Annie. I have a small business and make wooden picture frames. In the past my frames have been
engraved, but I would like to offer the option of putting on a COLOR logo on the frames, or heat press the logo onto the frames. I am open to suggestions for either some sort of printer-die cutter that would cut out the logos exactly. I would most likely only make about 1000 logos for the first year. The logos would only be about 3" x 3" and would be applied to a picture frame that is wood, and wouldnt' be outside.
There are so many printer-die cutter machines out there, that I would like any feed back if possible to find one. Roland, HP, Gerber edge, Mimaki, or any other one you can inform me about. Many of the logos may have white in them also...we tried a heat press from a company on my products, but the heat damaged the wood.
I would be so grateful to get any feedback from you members. Thank you.
