Guest Annie Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hi there - I need help again! I could have orienteering markers to do if everything goes well. I have uploaded a picture of how it should look. Man said the numbers could be a different colour - so I have 2ply laminate white on red - but how do I get the red triangle cut out? how does the machine do this I can't find a button.

Lee Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I could always supply you the triangle in vinyl to stick on (be quicker than engraving them) Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Call Gravograph, they do a 3 ply, you may be lucky with the colours, Some companies will make up special sheets for you. ask for a quote first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Annie Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hi Lee, thanks thats what John said and he already has a vinyl cutter - so if it comes to that - that's what I'll be doing. But just to be informed how would one engrave that? thanks annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Another thought Annie/John, You could use Gravoglas. You engrave on the rear of the material leaving the engraved area clear, as the colour is on the reverse, then you can infill your engraving any colour you want Hope that makes sense, call me if you're stuck.

Michel Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hello all You could either use our 3 colour laminate Gravoply 3C (it is available in white / red / black. See full colour range on http://www.gravograph.com/uk/Engraving% ... oply3c.php) or as UK900 said use Gravoglas and paintfill it. If the colours match, I personally would go for Gravoply 3C - saves the time consuming painting process. Vinyl is not a good option neither... Hope this helps and good luck.

Lee Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Michel, what settings (for depth etc) are needed to engrave the 3 ply reliably. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 You need to use a nose cone, its very fine indeed. Can't remember what setting I use. Its not a problem though Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hello again First of all, sorry for the mistype - I meant vinyl is not a bad option (i.e. it will work as well). Settings for Gply3c are: - top layer 0.1mm (4 graduations on the vernier) - 2nd layer 0.3mm (12 graduations on vernier) Hope this helps.
