Cindy:

My process is to paint the back and then engrave the back and color fill it.

Sometimes it's hard to get the color you want on a reverse engraved color fill and it may be better to mask the front, engrave and color fill. Just depends on how much pop you want the engraved color fill to have.

I would like to see a sample of Ron's process as it sounds very interesting.

You can get a little more 'pop' in the reverse engraved filled stuff by doing a final coat of white. Primer works very well.

That makes sense. I'll give it a try.

Since you make a purple in the Varsity line, does that mean that it's a standard color that could be used in custom combinations? In which case she would only need to order the 5 sheets in the specific combination she wanted (purple/clear) instead of needing 300 sheets of a custom color.

Good question Dave. I was only thinking of the purple in the satins and not whether that could transfer as a color to the clear.

Hmmm, I'll be interested in seeing the answer from George.

Hello Cindy and Dave,

As always, there is no real easy answer for this one, but the short answer is yes, we can do a clear/purple reverse using the purple color from the LaserMax line.

However, the foil for the LaserMax line isn't really designed to be a second surface (reverse) foil. What you will actually see through the clear will be the back side of the foil, which will still be purple, but might be a slightly different shade of purple than the front side (which is the side that shows in the LaserMax line). I hope that makes sense!

Anyway, Cindy, if you would like to email me outside of the forum, we can talk about it a little further and I can even see if we have some samples (which is a shot in the dark, but I've been surprised before about what I can find around here).

Oh, and yes, that would fall under the 5 sheet minimum "rule".

Cindy, my email is gprivateer@rowmark.com.

Thanks,
George
