I will be using the 40W VLS 3.50 from ULS to produce metal name tags for law enforcement, and I am having a bit of trouble determining what type of material to use for the name tags. I am very new to laser engraving so any assistance is helpful. It is my understanding that certain types of metal work better than others, and that some wouldn't work at all. Would using Cermark be a good option depending on the material? I have also looked into using Alumamark but the material seems to be too thin, but I am open to suggestions if it would be the best option.
The tags will be gold and 3/4" x 3". Any ideas or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
