ironplanet uk900 Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 The revival of this post reminded me. I phoned my Gravo rep today to remind him. he's calling me back tomorrow.....I'll let you all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 UK if I send you a piece of horn can you try it on the laser machine when you get it (dont ask) For info, we have supplied a laser to a company specialising in 'horn' products. It works really well for either engraving and cutting horn (but the smell is pretty bad...!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 HI, WE GOT OUR LASER BACK IN JANUARY (LS100) FROM GRAVOGRAPH IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS/TIPS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WAS A BIT SKEPTICAL WHEN WE GOT IT BUT IT HAS PROVED EXTREMELY VALUABLE TO US. INSTEAD OF SITTING IN FRONT OF A MACHINE ALL DAY FEEDING PLATES YOU CAN RUN ABOUT 17O PLATES (50X15) AT A TIME. ALLOWING YOU TO WALK OFF AND GET ON WITH OTHER JOBS. VERY FAST PRODUCTION TOO. ENGRAVING GLASS IN ABOUT THE QUARTER OF THE TIME WE ALSO HAVE A CYLINDRICAL ATTACHMENT FOR GLASS TANKARDS DON'T LET THE SALES GUY SELL YOU ANY CERMARK, AT £100.00 A CAN IT'S NOT WORTH THE MONEY AS IT KEEPS CLOGGING UP AND YOU SPRAY MORE OFF THE PRODUCT THAN YOU DO ON IT. ANYWAY, ANY COMMENTS? LET ME KNOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Andy it's always worth reading through the terms and conditions from any site your using, but in any forum using CAPS is considered shouting, and should only be used as such! Our T&C state >15 GENERAL USAGE 15.3 Please do not use ALL CAPS when requesting support. This goes for topic titles and message bodies. If noticed a quick warning will be sent out. Typing in ALL CAPS does not mean faster support. Although where all fairly easy going here, so we'll let you off JUST THIS ONCE! Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANYWAY, ANY COMMENTS? LET ME KNOW Hi Andy Is this the Andy I think it is...East Molesely?! Anyway..with Cermark, what you need to do is once you have finished using it for the job that you are doing...hold the can upside down and spray (obv. in well ventilated area) until the mist is clear. Then wash the nozzle in warm water and all should be fine and should have no problems with a can! Hope this helps...John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 oops! it's the sales guy who sold me the cermark thanks for the tip john. i just find it a bit hit and miss. what i do now for brass is use black coated jewellers brass and enrave away the background. bit of brasso and the jobs a gooden. looks great too. oh, and planet uk please don't feel too embarresed to ask me for some advice with your new laser. i am also still waiting to tattoo your butt.

Gravograph_John Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 oops! it's the sales guy who sold me the cermark I aint a sales guy!! With regards to engraving the background away, another tip is to create the job as you normally would, but then in the laser settings screen, if you select a NEGATIVE engrave, it also removes the background! Dunno if thats the way that you do it or not, but is on of the ways i use as is nice and easy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 sorry john. the sales guy was old billy boy. you are indeed a very good product support technician and you have helped me out on several occasions. including this time thanks again for the negative engrave tip, i was converting to curves putting a box around and linking up. your way is definately quicker/easier.

Gravograph_John Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 IIRC you have the advanced tools with you version of software? Another way that you can do this is by drawing a square on the plate the full size of the plate, filling it black (by turning it to a raster instead of vector), typing your text and then using (i think without looking!!) either UNION or SEGMENTATION...this also creates the same result, and is a lot better if there is only a small part of the plate that you need to do this to, the negative image will remove obviously ALL of it!! Are you around on Monday afternoon at all? I am in your area and was thinking of popping in for a few mins to say hello!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 feel free to pop in john, as long as you don't have the lurgey again. i will put the kettle on for you, just give us a bell when you are near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
