ENDURAMARK New Lower Cost Laser Marking chemical

[Mike Null]

I've just received my samples of new Enduramark laser marking chemicals. I haven't begun to test them but I have seen the results of others and am convinced that the black is comparable to Cermark but a lot cheaper.

If you'd like to order a sample pack use this link: https://enduramark.com/laser-marking-spray-sample-pack

At the moment there is a special sample offer which includes 10-gram bottles of Black, Silver and Diamond Dust. They are just $9.99 including free shipping. Use the code SAMPLEPACK to get this offer.
These products are for stainless steel. Dilute with denatured alcohol.

I should mention that I have no financial interest in this business.

I tried to order but the website is screwy, can not scroll and can not apply discount code. Too bad it looks interesting.

Let us know if you test it on aluminum or other materials. I know they say they "don't recommend it" but I'm curious nonetheless!

[Doug Fisher]

We all will be interested to know how it performs in your tests, Mike. Cermark seems to be the "known quantity" but there are a number of competitors in the market now (e.g. LaserBond).

Did you get the "free" Preval sprayer too? If so, it will be interesting to know if it is mandatory like they seem to indicate. When I looked at their site last week, they didn't recommend bristle-type brushes but they didn't address foam brushes either.

Bill, add it to your cart, then checkout- In the checkout section, it says 'if you have a promo code, view your cart to enter it' <<< the "view your cart" part is a link TO the cart. Within the cart area on the left is says something like 'enter coupon code here'-

Their website IS a little screwy, and like so many websites lately almost impossible to read in some areas because of no contrast. Guess it's the 'artsy' thing with websites these days but I have eyes that likes DARK against LIGHT much more than light silver against white...

I got mine-- Since I've burned thru almost 2 kilos worth of Cermark this year already, a $70 savings per 500gm bottle will be welcome! I just really hope it works, and I'm really curious how the Triumph will do with it!

[Brian Lamb]

I ordered the special, will see how it works compared to Cermark. Thanks for the tip!

[Mike Null]

I understand that a foam brush will work. You mix this to the same consistency as Cermark.

I doubt that I will make any recommendation with respect to aluminum as they specify stainless steel and I do very little work with bare aluminum.

too bad they don't ship to Canada. I've been looking for an alternative for a long time.

They are just $9.99 including free shipping. Use the code SAMPLEPACK to get this offer.

It shows a grand total of $9.99 but adds $13.40 to the PayPal amount for shipping, for a total of $23.39. I think you may not see that if you use a credit card.

I believe they are monitoring this thread so I expect that is an oversight that will be corrected. I spoke to one of the owners to be sure it was ok to mention the sample deal on SMC and he didn't mention any restrictions.

If you view cart, there should be option to "not use credit card" or some such option. Click that and all charges will go to zero.... No shipping charge, actually free.

There is the option of using PayPal or Credit Card. Selecting either one does not change what it says the grand total is, it will show $0.00 for shipping, but when I log in to PayPal the $13.40 shipping charge is added.

I ran a couple tests on Enduramark Black marking compound. I ran it against Both CerMark LMM6038 (my preference) and LMM-6000.

Overall it was real close, but both CerMarks still provided a better Marking. In my opinion Enduramark's recommendation of a 2:1 dilution is way too thin. I'm thinking if it had been thicker, the tests might have been even closer in comparison. As I thin my 6038 about 5:1, it's still the better buy and at least in my first 2 tests a better Marking too.

I didn't have the best light for the attached picture but it's CerMark LMM-6000 on the far left / LMM-6038 in the middle / Enduramark Black on the right. Along with my test strip. What the poor picture quality doesn't show is on my system 70% Speed was optimum, however the final result - after a good scrubbing was Enduramark was lighter and more dull in color.

Your picture--on my screen--shows Enduramark as being darker. The other interesting thing is that you ran Enduramark faster. Is that right?

[Tim Bateson]

I'll try to get a better picture of it tonight. Yes, the sample strip (to the right) produced the darkest Black at 70% speed on my machine. However it does have a very large % that will produce dark shades of Black that are very close.
