Ok, so here is a new one. While I'm still a newbie (right around 1,000 items marked), I have yet to experience this. So pretty simple cermark on stainless Rtic cups. I have completed many with little to no issues. This time, you can see from the pictures, that the cermark area is simply flaking off. Each cup was set with different settings and dpi with similar results.
I prep the cups with DA
I use the Cermark can spray LMM-6000
I'm using an Epilog Legend 36xt 60 watt
Settings are 100 pwr 20-35 speed (same settings I've used for nearly all of my marking of stainless
600dpi
Of note, I did have one wood project last week that was burning much darker than I'm used to. Even when dropping the power considerably and increasing the speed. I chalked it up to the type of wood and the stain. However, it certainly seemed to be "hot" and more flame than I've ever seen.
I'm usually fighting what seems to be a loss of power, but now ?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. image2.jpgimage1.jpgimage3.jpgimage4.jpgimage5.jpg
