I would like to engrave wood that has a distressed look to it. I paint the sign then engrave it. I can distress the painted part fine however when I try to distress the engraved part, it doesn't turn out very nice. You can't paint over the engraving but that doesn't work either (or at least for me). Is there a way to set up the laser to give it a distressed look when it engraves - maybe by changing power, speed or ppi combination? Also, I painted the sign Blue and then painted it white. I was hoping that the blue would show up when I distressed it. The engraving takes away all of the paint. I have a 50 watt ULS. Any ideas?
