what galvo's do u have exactly ?
u could use norms laser dac to begin with its 24 dollars and wil do most graphics just fine
it only needs a pc with a printer ports and the software is free

but if u are going to use it profecionaly

u need a dac like phoenix pangolin easylease etc ect

those wil range from 400-1200 dollars
mostly depending on the software.
