I just received my first test sheet today.

I lasered some test swatches with my ULS 30w with different settings. I also rotary engraved a piece.

Like most gold foils I've tried in the past it depends on how the light reflects whether the lettering is black or kinda milky black. When I hold the piece so the room light is highly reflected the lettering is jet black, otherwise, not very flattering. Didn't matter if it was laser or rotary engraved, the results are the same for me.

Maybe more testing is in order....

BTW, I used the Brushed Antique Gold/Black

Hi ,
I purchased the vintage gold per your recomendation.
We are on our third pass with the laser and still not clean. What do you recomend we run it at and how many passes.
We have a 40 watt unit.

To our mates at Rowmark,

You know blokes....You make a great range of products.....
I'd be hard pressed to use other brands ahead of Rowmark....


But...What on Earth is going on ?


Who's butt needs to be kicked here ?

I only have done a couple with our new 40 watt so
don't have tweaked settings yet.

I started at 30 speed and adjusted it a little on the fly.
I think it took 4-5 passes but was busy doing other things
so just kept repeating to just get it done. it was the 1/16
thick so I didn't want to overdo it and warp it.
