COMMENTS
There is a process called Laser Color Marking, which enables the color filling of anodized aluminum.
First, coat or spray the aluminum with a clear acrylic finish. After the finish has thoroughly dried, laser
engrave the graphic onto the aluminum. Then take a water based marker, such as those found in an art
supply store, and swab on the ink into the engraved area. You can actually see the ink get absorbed into
the engraved area but not the unengraved area. The ink will appear lighter in color because the white
engraved area tends to lighten the shade. Use a darker tint marker to compensate for the lighter effect.
Wipe off the excess with a soft, lint free cloth. Finish the piece by applying another coat of clear acrylic
finish and let dry.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENGRAVE DEEPLY OR ATTEMPT TO CUT THIS MATERIAL
WITH THE LASER SYSTEM
. High Power and low Speed settings can cause the laser
beam to reflect off of this material, which can damage the laser system and can be a
safety hazard. Damage caused by this type of abuse
ARE NOT
covered under
warranty.
ENGRAVING THIS MATERIAL PRODUCES ABRASIVE PARTICLES
. Clean the
laser system more frequently to reduce wear and tear on the motion system
components and optics. Damage to the laser system from inadequate or insufficient
maintenance
ARE NOT
covered under warranty.
