I am new to the laser terminology and while my main interest is in cutting. I have been scouring over all the forum posts and see the phrase "Can be color filled" or something similar.
What is this process?

Hi Michael -
Not sure what kind of machine you have, but on the Universal web site in the tutorial section, they have a great pdf file that walks you through the process.
Hope this helps,
Kevin

Color filling is usually spreading an ink, paint, etc. into a laser-engraved substrate. For example, engraved corian leaves a nice rut for paint to stick in.

Many years ago I saw my first Color Fill at a ARA Show in AC about 9 years ago. Laser Bits did it and Mike F., He used a old phone book to wipe off the excess fill paint then tore out the page... next..... I thought that was a great idea.
Rubbing it on the flat book page.:D
