    Don't we hear this all the time. There is always somebody out there that can do it cheaper, maybe not making any money on that order or hoping to make more in the future with them. Sometimes...
  4. Engraving a Zippo Sapphire Chrome Lighter

    Has anyone done one of these just by lasering the coating, as Zippo says this is a type of chrome? Or do I need to use Cermark, which I don't want to use.

    I agree with Dave. Ornaments are a hard lot when you have something like that and put names at angles, etc. Maybe if you did a 1,000 or so - then the setup time would be minimal for each one if...

    Hannu,

    I would tape where the laser will cut, especially on the front side; as not many may look at back; but if that's a consideration - do it to keep the smoke, etc. from collecting on it. ...
