Josh, the people at JDS are very nice. I haven't purchased from them yet, but they were very helpful in my questions. If you go to this link you can request a catalog. http://php.jdsindustries.com/CatREQ/getINFO.php

Thanks for the info Dee. I've looking into buying some of the square ones, but hadn't taken the plunge yet. I would think $10-$12 would be more reasonable than $24.
I would have never thought to engrave on the bottom...great idea!
And I love the idea of getting JDS to make tiles like this!!! I've been painting and lasering my own and it's a pain...pre-painted ones would be awesome! I wonder who we call to get them on the ball?

Dee,
What is the part number of the mug you ordered?
thanks

I have attempted engraving mugs earlier and found that the glaze was uneven and that the engraving had to be so deep as to make the mug unsaleable. I think I would stick with JDS as they probably have found the supplier with the secret glazing formula and they are a great supplier.

I can attest to that, JDS is always willing to listen to what we have to say and will work
with us if they deem it would be a positive addition to their line. If you notice in their
new catalog there is now a logo by their products that are made in the USA, that was
a suggestion that was brought up last year that they have moved on. Same with these
coasters, now to get them to sell them individually.
I think we can get them to offer the tile coasters seperately if we can be convincing.
I have a good contact there for these types of things PM for their info.

Josh,
Their new catalog is out already - at ARA Show in February. Lots of new stuff. If you are not considered a dealer by them and get into the dealer website; then yes their catalog on the website is disappointing and they know it. It's harder to keep up with all the new stuff. Even the dealer site has issues when looking items up with a "new" catalog number. Sometimes they are not in the system under that number. Give their Customer Service a call - they are EXCELLENT and will help you with anything you need.
IMHO!!!!!

Edi,
Have you tried Cermark for Tile / Glass? They make a few colors for doing those kinds of items; so if you're doing white or light colored tiles - then the Cermark should work. I've got some; but haven't used it yet - no requirement other than creating some samples.

FYI, since I almost never get to do a job non stop start to finish, I use tailors chalk to mark direction or center point, it doesn't need to be scrubbed off & doesn't interfere with the laser beam.

I'll be sure to send JDS an email or give them a call. I did see the coasters in the new catalog and larger tiles like this would be awesome! I'm glad to know that they listen to their customers and take ideas seriously...great customer service!
I haven't tried Cermark yet, it's a little pricey, isn't it? I'm buying 12x12 tiles for around $1 and a can of poly + spray paint is pretty cheap
