Greetings All,
Here is the short Story: I have been asked if I can engrave ceramic tiles. Replied do not know have not tried. I was given a 12x12" tile to do initial test on. Results where a dulling and browning of the mustard yellow glaze. I have a can of Ceramark on the way to try out. The tiles are going in a high school gym foyer. All artwork is supposed to be already set up all I should have to do is size it to the tile and them print it. Can anyone give suggests about how much I should charge for the job. If I go with an estimated 200square feet @ $50 or $60 a tile that ends up to being about $10,000 or $12,000. If I can get this job it would pay for my machine.
A few issues;
Already have a full time job
Takes about an hour to burn tile
Not set up has a business I am doing things has a hobby (collecting donations for my time)
Any suggestions, issues advice would be great.
Thank you,
Nathan
