laser

Hello folks. I can see that many of you use inkjet printers for printing the inserts of see through resin pens. I have a colour laser printer. Would this be suitable and also what paper should be used please? As always, grateful for any links and pointers. Many thanks David :winking:

Been making a few bowls and trying out embellishing wax and burning. This week had some medallions made to fit into the bottom of the bowls. A small company down the road did the artwork and laser cut them. I think they turned out very nicely. Just adds a bit of finish to the piece. Bowl is...

I’m looking for some advice regarding laser printing on cardboard boxes. I have a laser that i user on wood generally but i have seen cardboard pen boxes/cases etched with coloured font. I have used 3m blue masking tape and then filled in with paint but is there a better way? The tape i use is...

Hi, We've just invested in a little laser engraver. My query is, when in the pen-making process is it best to do the engraving? Would the finish be spoilt by the heat? Thanks in advance Margo

Hi All, After seeing the results from Frederick's laser I had to get one. I went for this style as it can engrave an area of 6'' x 6'' or 150mm x 150mm. A guy in the UK has made a rotary jig for this style which I will add on. Great fun to work with. Neje Laser - YouTube

I'm thinking about buying a Laser Engraver has anyone got any recommendations. Robin

That is the question.... I have looked in to both and not looking at the specific software issues as I see those are little steps to get over and not a significant issue. What I ask is router or laser..? Simple question. What would you go for and why? Don't be shy, all you newbies and...

I got two parcels, one from Mike Johnson with five beautiful pens & one Afghan play bolt action pen from Vic Perrin. Thank you both for your generosity it is very much appreciated. No pics I'm afraid as my eyes are still numb from the laser treatment. I won't know if it has done any good till...
