Full Version: How can I tell laser vs rotary

Is there a way you can tell by looking at metal on a plaque if it is laserable or not?
I was given 2 plaques to engrave (rather hastily so I didn't have a chance to look before the person left...long story)
and am wondering if I will be able to laser them. They just need names and dates and as much as I would like to do it in house, I am wondering if I should give it to one of my competitors >.< ...
just this once.....
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Becky

What color is the surface? If it's black, I'd probably assume that it's laserable. This also assumes that the backing is gold or silver.
Hehehe....if it turned out NOT to be laserable after that, and it messed the plaque up, I'd just tell the customer that they bought a bad plaque.
Then I'd suggest one from my own wall. (angel)

Probably in this case, better safe than sorry.
Thanks all
