I've heard that the cheaper the glass the better it engraves.

I have an Optical Crystal Award that will be a sample for a possible customer. (Yes, they are paying for the sample), but, I have glass etching going really nice, and I only have one Crystal sample to work with. Will I be ok using my Glass settings for Crystal, or is there anything I should look out for? If I create a great sample and I get this job, it will be a big deal for us.

Thanks,
Ricky

Ricky- I normally do optical crystal with the same settings I have used for other glass with very good results. Optical is a more pure form of glass and harder, if I remember correctly, but the laser will etch it just as nicely.
