Today at MBJD Laser we got an opportunity to try out a new leather product. We came across a black leather bracelet product that sounded almost to good to be true. On one black leather bracelet when it is engraved the engraving comes out Gold. On another black leather bracelet when it is engraved it comes out Silver. As you can imagine we were excited to give this new product a try because if it works as advertised this could lead to some very interesting products in the future.
The manufacturers laser settings for this leather on our 40 Watt Zing Laser was a Speed of 100 and a Power of 35. As new products go, there is always a learning curve and the Laser settings always end up being tweaked slightly to find the "sweet spot". We finally settled on a Speed of 100 and a Power of 25 when rastering.
We were amazed at the final product. See for yourself in the photos. Its amazing to me that the same basic product can look so different. It's all in how they manufacture the leather. Whatever the secret is, we are sure to use more of it and plan on using it a lot more! Interesting note that the manufacturer even color coordinated the snaps. :-)
