quote: 3M make a range of polyester laser friendly vinyls. We raster and laser cut them extensively for sandblasting and acid etching resists. The colours are limited and prices are high compared to bog standard sign vinyl however.
Do you have a source for this 3M vinyl? I want to do some lettering on my car and truck and since I have the laser do not want to pay someone else locally. I di dsome a couple years ago using the gold foil from Laserbits and it lasted almost 2 years, but if I am going to spend the time I want it to last longer.
On my car I am just doing the business name and phone # but on my truck I want to list my services on the rear window of the cap and the business on the side windows. Another option is to cut my logo in its colors.
Thx,
Jim

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stone-cutter, hammering away at his rock perhaps 100 times without as much as a crack showing. Yet at the 101st blow, it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before." - Unknown |
