    Laser VS Sandblast

    Hi all

    We were wondering about the quality of laser etched photographs compared to sandblasted. We are wanting to get a laser for etching on glass and marble tiles. We currently play around with sandblasting, but is time consuming. Compared to halftone sandblasting, how well would a laser do on glass? I attached a photo I took with a digital camera, this is what I started with, and a photo of an ornament that I sandblasted using halftones. The ornament is 3.25" in diameter and the etching is 2.25" in diameter. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
