Hey All! Sorry! I just am now seeing the newer responses... as far as the lift gate, luckily, I do have a roll-up door AND a fork lift :) I was just super worried about how they'd manuever around...

Hi David! Thanks for letting me know that Dollar Tree will ship to my local store, that is really good to know! In the past I do usually just go there because the quantity requested is never very...

Hello all and Happy Holidays!

I've just received one of the largest glass orders in my business history. In the past, I simply go to Dollar Tree and buy whatever I need for gift engraving, but...

I'm just wanting to have them "engrave" them and see what theirs look like at this point! I will post back the final final out come of this, but for the past 3 days of only getting like 20 mugs done...

SHE SAID IT IS OK TO STOP!!! :) THANK GAWD!!!

I am SO Relieved!!!

Once I explained everything down to the part where I think I'm even ruining my machine (as far as belts and bearings) let alone...

That is definitely what I'm finding, I totally understand. Monday, I intend to give them what I've completed and say, that's about all I can do at this point.

Yes, I am using the rotary attachment. Unfortunately, I only have a 2" lense, that fits most of my needs, on these occasional "special" projects, I find where I should just say no, is when I lean...

Well, I know these aren't for me in the future, but I need to somehow limp through this one... I'm trying multiple passes right now with the same settings to see how many licks it takes to get to the...

And here is the second mug that I was more aggressive with... I think too agressive as the levelness of the ceramic is very bumpy now. I'm going to keep trying... any help though :)

I am having a very hard time getting through the depth of the campfire mugs offered by discountmugs.com. I originally told my customer I could do this only because discountmugs offers laser engraving...

Awesome, thanks for the input! I submitted my quote and photos to the customer as they were happy with the rush testing I did with all my disclaimers. So, fingers crossed!!!

Oh, and maybe the amount of dilution affected this as well?

I'd post pictures but due to the fact that I signed a document that states "This document contains Confidential and Proprietary...

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IT WORKED!!! FIRST TRY!!! I'm just so excited! My settings were Power: 80, Speed 15%, Max PPI and DPI

I still think it could be blacker, so I will play around with my...

SWEET!!! I am testing right now, BUT all my cermark was dried up (shows you how often I've been using it lately). So, I put nuts/bolts in each container with high content alcohol, and shook for about...

Dan, thank you for that!!! I will call and let them know, but for now... testing testing testing! Fingers crossed! I really need this account :)

I have searched this subject everywhere and feels like I already know the answer, BUT, I have successfully done brass and chrome with my laser using cermark. I have a 50 watt V-Class ULS laser, and...

I am back to normal now! Thank you all, I never made it as far as the sandpaper since most of it was out of focus, the steel wool and rubbing compound and scotch brite pad did the trick, as well as...

Awesome, yeah, it's defiitely making a dent, but getting back to square one would be nice because the shadow is still there and still a slight black. Hopefully, I won't have "many" jobs where I need...

Help! I did not have my object properly focused in my rotary attachment. It is a ring of a mock stanley cup and made up of stainless steel. When I put the ring in, as it spun around it slightly lost...

OK! Well, that's a good start! I will post my results. Just waiting on the copper to arrive. I have done plenty weird metal cermark jobs, just never copper. I will go full power and super slow!

I have successfully done brass, stainless, aluminum, sterling types of metal, how about copper anyone???

I did a quick search but never found something that says specifically copper.

Thanks!...

Hey Joe! What were your settings with this? I lost all my chrome settings with cermark for some reason. I just ran a few tests, and the image did wipe off. It is script text, I am running again with...

YAY! Down to 42 minutes!!! Just dropped the ppi again, now trying 700 ppi 500 dpi power 38% speed 100% and all I wanted was to get to 1 hr, what a huge jump!

K, still dialing in... at 100% speed, 35% power, 800 ppi and 1000 ppi took 1 hr. 15 min... just downed the ppi a bit and power up a bit, trying again... still looking for that 1 hour mark! Trying the...

Thanks Tim! I have good settings as it is now engraving nicely, just trying to optimize at this point to make it go faster so tweeking with power and dpi and ppi at the moment, the entire job was...
