Great idea Ron!

I've been working with some mirrored acrilyc last Christmas (mostly christmas tree decoration shapes like candy canes and balls)

How did you do the black and red colours?

thanks for the infos Rodne!
when you talk about distortion of the mirror are you talking about a temporary status or a real deformation?
Cause when I engrave in raster mode (where the temperature...

For what concerns the tube, my Epilog has 4 months of life, and hasn't been used much since I'm starting up my business now..

Hi everybody,

I recently received an order for some plexiglass keychains I designed, (100) and I was so happy since it's one of my first jobs, so I setup my file, and prepare to cut the first 30...

Sorry Dan, does it mean you've had experience and you chose to behave "not my problem" (which by the way is right) or that you've never had experience of this kind?

The HD logo is a clear example, but there must be a way to protect myself anytime I engrave, for example, a photo.
I cannot possibly know if the photo of a cute cat the customer gave me is of his...
