Can everyone/anyone confirm for sure that I will not be able to pair my Mac up with my Laserpro mercury..... I had a feeling I had seen drivers available for Mac before, but haven't been able to...
I've recently been asked if it is possible for my 30watt CO2 laser to laser away the copper on a PCB - in effect for me to create the circuit board for a friend.... a prototype and maybe a small run....
Hi All
I am new here (normally small-time user of the laser forum), but need help on behalf of a client who uses a lathe to manufacture certain items. If you were to think of very short broom...
Thanks guys - there are of course other ways of doing it, but they are wanting a wood that is native and sustainable, because they are "like that", and I wouldn't want to complain at the idea too...
Hi all
I have just been asked by a park authority to provide some small (3" square) wooden plaques, maybe a half inch thick, lasered with their design. The idea is that about 500 of these are...
For those of you who use Illustrator CS4, there is a way to find the length of the paths in your files that i have just found out on the adobe site.
Click on Window and check on Document Info. On...
Well you've all been very helpful here. It is obviously something that has been thought through by a few of you, though only by Universal lasers (by the sounds) in terms of manufacturers. I have a...
Imagine a silhouette of a bird in a cage with lots of flowers round about, then using the outline of the silhouette as a vector path to cut it out of a piece of thin black card, letter or A4 size....
Well, by way of an update, I received a MSD Sheet from the distributor, and it seems that when used as you'd expect, there is nothing overly worrying about the rubber. But they do suggest use of...
Does anyone know if there are any potential risks to one's health with the dust and fumes that come off the rubber that is used for rubber stamps. The stuff I use is a grey "pretend" rubber that is...
I use Corel Draw v9 on a PC laptop running windows xp to drive my laser. In my office I have switched to using a new Mac and would like to be able to design on my Mac, and export to a PC Corel Draw...
I'm glad to have been of help - I'm feel I'm fairly new to this too, and it is nice to be able to feed some useful info back into the field rather than find myself always asking for help.
With the residue that you are finding, have you tried throwing the focus out a tiny bit, so the lasered area is less rough. I had the same (I think) problem when lasering the Rowmark reverse material...
Hi all
Just been very frustrated by a load of rubber stamps I am doing. I start off with the usual rastering from the bottom to the top, then get around to cutting them out and all the cut outs...
Yes David - save the settings for each job on that first tab of the mercury printer properties.... ie send job to printer, choose properties and voila - choose the settings on the other tabs and then...
Has anyone cut expanded polystyrene (that packaging stuff) with a laser? I seem to remember as a kid cutting the stuff with a hot wire and all of us really rather enjoying the smell..... Nowadays I'm...
Of course your client might consider getting their design made by Formica! I have no idea what the costs involved are, but I gather you can get whatever image/s you like printed up and combined into...
I also periodically have had trouble downloading various files from this forum. The usual tactic of right-clicking on the link, choosing Save As, and then ensuring that the file is saved with ".cdr"...
Hi Aimee
Looks good - did you use the cermark paste after all? Or just zap it without anything on?
And holding that image briefly in my mind... typing to you from England (That's Old England,...
Thank you guys - Jason's Zippo looks pretty impressive. Good to hear there isn't any tarnish - what about flaking around the edges of the engraved area? It looks like you had to go pretty deep from...
Thanks guys - yes I had appreciated that using Cermark might prove to be a 2 step process with all the registration issues during the painting process. I am also concerned of the possibility of...
Okay - count me in too if there is still time!
Laserpro mercury 30 watt
Thanks guys - I will send an email off to Mike and post here what the reply is.
What are the dangers of using my laser on reflective materials? There is the sticker on the front telling me not...
Has anyone used a laser to etch designs onto Zippo lighters?

seems to indicate that the Black Ice finish may be...
It certainly is a very interesting page! It shows it can be done - and they are only about 4 hours drive from me! I might just have to contact them....
