I have a customer bringing over a metal plate he would like to have marked with winners/losers. The plate is supposed to mount on a belt players trade back and forth.
I do not have the plate in hand yet, but from what I can see in google images, there is a slight curve.
If he brings me the bright gold plate, I'm thinking Cermark. However the curve is concerning. I have lased leather which is somewhat uneven, but not Cermark on a slightly curved piece of metal.
If the metal is coated like the following I was also thinking of ablation. However if gold, then Cermark.

The last time I got a call about doing something like this, I told the customer 15.00. I thought that was pretty cheap considering the other shop he called wanted a 35.00 setup fee just to start. Never heard back from him.
