Oh dear, I seem to be out of step with most people, having ticked the two everyone else dismisses (wordworksweb and hotmetaltype).

The burnishedmetal/moltenmetal names just suggest an artiness which isn't what you want in a proofreader, with possibly overtones of bad teenage poetry. WordWorksWeb sounds brisk, and business-like, and as though it'd sort out your typos and send your copy back in double-quick time.

Hotmetaltype appeals to me because I grew up visiting my mum's office under the rumbling clunk of the hot metal machines on the floor above. It's a bit archaic, and suggests that you're someone who knows a bit about the printing industry.
