laser cannot engrave
into the glass nor can it cut glass. Instead, laser interaction with glass causes the
surface of the glass to appear frosted. Sometimes, placing a piece of newspaper on
the glass and dampening is with water will improve the appearance of the engraving.
Another method is to apply transfer tape to the glass, wet it with water from a spray
bottle, and laser engrave it. The transfer tape and water will act as a heat sink and pull
the heat away from the glass as the laser system engraves it. This helps reduce
chipping or flaking of the glass.
If using the optional Rotary Fixture in the Portrait Mode use the following settings to
minimize the chances of the object slipping in the fixture while running at high speeds.
If engraving in the landscape mode, s defined at the top of this page.
