Liesl,
If you are a JDS customer and have access to their site, you should be able to download both the 2010 catalog and pricelist from their FTP.

Hi,
First of all thanks for all the information you guys share on SMC.
A customer requested that we make several awards and plaques, with on photo engraving on granite tile. We purchased Black...

Chuck,
The Virtual Segment Delete tool (located on the Crop Tool flyout) would remove the extra line thus eliminating that extra cut every time. Normally when cutting boxes I leave a gap in between;...

To engrave this material in one pass on our 35w epilog we use 30 speed, 100 power. I cannot remember what speed/power/freq we cut it at, but remember to use air assist. We have used this material for...

Thanks for the feedback guys, I will compare the cost of doing it in pieces (engraved) and doing this with vinyl. We have gotten much business from this client lately and would hate having to send...

Hi everyone,
I have a customer for which I have done a large amount of 6x18" signs on Rowmark Textures material for a local hotel. Now, the customer wants me to make 3 larger signs, like 24x48" (if...

I believe Jessica is referring to something similar to this "X-Mas tree" trophy: http://www.bentontrophy.com/productpages/resins/cat-resins/RFC-1088.html

Too bad we don't have either of those here in Aruba. I will check out my local hardware store and try to get some samples.
Thanks

Rodne,
I have tried a formica piece with my laser (35w) and I had a hard time vector cutting. It would raster with good contrast, but when cutting the edges would char and i really had to slow the...

We do quite a bit of trophies and medals even (using inserts) all laser engraved. Our preferred material is IPI Laserthins, which JDS sells at a good price, comes with 3M adhesive on the back...

Darren/Joe/Brian,
Thanks for the feedback.
I will be testing whether the table is level and the alignment of the optics this week. I'll let you know how it went.
Thanks again,

I have a Epilog Mini18 35w and we have noticed when we engrave or cut using the whole work area that the engraving furthest away from the home position does not come engrave/cut well (see attached...

Not sure if this is an option, maybe you should look into a colored cardboard and applying the adhesive yourself, a quality adhesive like 3M (which you can find in sheets).

Yes we are doing most of our work in wood, acrylic, engraveable plastic (Rowmark) for name signs and hotel roomnumbers. Also, since I know many sport clubs here, we are doing some...

Zac,
I was in a very similar position to yours about 6 months ago when I started looking for a laser engraver, partially because I was impressed by ipod/laptop engraving videos on youtube. I decided...

Yes Dee, there is a guy in Aruba too! You guys are welcome here, but I wouldn't mind a trip to Trinidad either :p

The material is IPI Laserthins, similar to Rowmark and it comes with 3m adhesive which is ideal for these types of jobs. Also, you can get it in other colors like silver/black, bronze/black, etc.

I guess it's no problem naming the vendor on the boards.
The wooden standup plaques, from JDS Industries, come in Cherry Finish and Black Marble Finish. Also, you have 4 different sizes:
3.75X5.75...
