Great to see etchings other than the standard frosted style. Does the X12 produce color etchings on stainless steel at all? The website says it supports 400+ Colors Engraving, but I have yet to find any examples of this. Have you tested the possibility of color engraving with it at all?
Thanks! I haven't looked into the color engraving on stainless steel- I'll have to order some material and do some testing for find the best settings! Thanks for watching
I have not tried water and my mix of 2 parts 91% IPA and 1 part TiS02 works good for me. Suggestion - add a few drops of red food coloring to the mix so to be able to better see where you have applied, (on white tiles).... For me, a thicker coating works best and it needs to be applied with ONE application as subsequent coats tend to "lift off" the previous coat....
You may try this: "my 30 watt Longer B1 laser set to 4000 mm/min, 80% power, with a .08 line interval, I do get a very nice black etching".... The heat generated from my "blue" laser seemed to burn in the cold galvanized into my test glass and whatever "particles" are contained in the CG, bond very smoothly in a nice, very black finish. I believe that a C02 laser will etch glass without any mask, but, using a CG spray, single coat, your C02 laser may also burn in the CG and give you a nice black etch....
Nice job...like usual! I wonder if you used crosshatch would you of gotten a more "solid" black?
Thanks! That's a great idea to try- I"ll check that out next time I black engrave on glass.

Nice video, just what I was looking for. Question about the mixing, is that 1 part TiO2 to 4 parts water, by weight or volume?
Thanks! I mixed mine by volume. Thanks for watching!

No Diode laser but have 100 w co2 laser Will that work?
I haven't tried it with a Co2 laser- my guess is it would work :)
