He might not! I got the name of his company wrong. It's Cactus Equipment & Supplies (not sales).
Sorry Mick!

Refresh my failing memory. :-)
What's the name of the material with the impressive backlighting properties?

I've covered your tracks.
I doubt that would have been enough to keep Mick from noticing this thread. :-)

Carl,
He will. Trust me.
I'll get on the Mick bandwagon with you. He has spent a lot of time with me as well. The thing I admire about Mick, is he does not take any of this "too" seriously and genuinely cares about helping.......

Geeezze, now I have to work on Sunday! (insert Chucks laugh here, but it is too cold for me to have a grass skirt on)
The material is a very thin (about .020" if I remember correctly), but tough, electronics grade ceramic. It images VERY nicely, edge to edge with the OEM transfers. It is stunning when back lit with a nice picture on it.
In stock now are 5" X 7" pieces and they sell for $18 / dozen.

Is that the same stuff that they use for thin-film PCBs (printed circuit boards)? It sure sounds the same. And boy is that stuff brittle! And extremely abrasive. I spent several years working with that material in a manufacturing environment. Those high-tech PCBs were used inside switches for power tools.
If memory serves me correctly, they laser scribe that material in the green state (unfired) so that it can be later singulated (separated) along the score lines. I can't imagine trying to cut that stuff after it has been fired without score lines.

I have to jump on the "Mick" bandwagon as well. Talk about great customer service! He has always gone out of his way for help and answering any questions I have had while setting up my equipment and trying different processes.
I am totally satisfied with his products and plan on placing another order tommorrow.
Thanks again Mick for your help!

I think I know you as well as anybody (7 yrs.) and I can say that the praise is well-deserved. :-)

I know you better. I know you from before EE was started, through DSSI.
You are an honest, dedicated supplier who goes the extra mile for all customers and potential customers.
Your innovation is also spectacular. Your new products always work beyond the advertised specifications.
