Chees for vid mate 👍 I do a lot of photo engraving on ceramic tiles & get excellent results by using "Parkside" Metal Protective paint for the main colours used plus "Tetrion" Silver, 2 light coats of white, 2 light grey, 2 darker grey, 2 sliver then 2 black... Sharp results where the silver helps enhance detail 😎👍🏴
I usually use Baltic birch plywood for wood engravings. I try to stay away from big retail stores for wood. Local mills and craft stores usually carry nicer quality wood. The tiles I got from Home Depot. They are bathroom/kitchen tiles. They sell them in a variety of shapes and sizes.
I'm doing mine with more than one color layer, if I have some soot left on it n it doesn't blow off, do I have other option on wiping it off like like a soft paint brush, dry of course, something like that tho?
Not that I'm aware of. I think you would need a stronger air assist. The soot might be staining as it sits, a stronger air assist would blow it all off. Ive tried to wipe and use brushes and it always ends badly for me. I've lightly sprayed mine with the air compressor hose while it's engraving but thats risky. Be sure you don't accidentally squeeze too hard or your tile will go flying away mid engraving 😆
@jjengraves227 apparently you've done that 🤣, funny, right now I only have the stock air that came with machine, hoping to upgrade soon, how long did it take to learn to adjust photos, I know I just got started but it sure is a process to figure out
Thanks again, so much. I truly appreciate that. If you ever get busy and you need help with the image part reach out to me. I'd love to help out as I practice and build my skills with this.
I prefer to actually etch the tile and then wash off the paint used ... Though I may have to reassess that opinion and try some of your methods. Thanks for the ideas.
I think I placed the tile a little low in the workspace and it missed that bit at the top. It's why it's important to double check that before you start your project!
You'll be spending a bit of money if you want a good set up. Definitely do a bit of research before you make a purchase. Try to decide what kind of projects you'll be taking on. If you're only making keychains and small items you wouldn't need a big machine. If you're making signs or mass producing something the big machine would come in handy.
wowww., you are very Smart ... Thanks for Share J&J

What version of photoshop you used?
i dont understand, how is the end result so glossy? the paint you put on was matte. did you put on another glossy epoxy coating?
I use shellac for the finish

Thanks for the ideas.

I'm in Nigeria, how can I get the laser machine, and how much is it in dollar?
Ebay and Amazon sell some brands. Not sure who delivers to your area, sorry if that doesn't help much.
You had a bit of a black edge on the second tile. Do you know why that happened to turn out like that?
