its really tough to print a QR code using one of those - I was thinking a paper wallet complete with Codes printed on aluminum or other metal stock (thin but not paper thin)
No, it is not too hard to do a QR on one.  They will not be as durable as your metal version as even heat or light will make the Dymo fade, but you can pop out a clean QR from a Dymo in no time.



your link was to their hand press engraver which only does letters (like the ones used in the 70's)

no, it does letters (large and small), numbers, and symbols.


I would like to see how you print a QR code with that particular model  - perhaps one of their electronic, computer connected models but not that one - I suspect you are being intentionally obtuse though at this point

QR codes are not the only way to store private keys.

for example, Armory seed and chain codes consist solely of small letters.

Yes you are correct but, But I stated that I wish to find a medium, that I could print QR codes on

you did?

laser "engravers" are usually for drawing line art. They have really bad shading capability. Usually, if you want something shaded, you would use masking tape + sandblast.

Has anyone contemplated a cheap laser engraver to etch an offline wallet on aluminum or other material?- I thought it might offer more stable long term storage

I've been considering etching like they do with circuit boards or possibly plating.
