Price Increase Alert!

Gravograph understands the tough economic conditions our customers are facing, we have increased efficiencies to offset or have absorbed most of the cost increases --and will continue to do so.  However, Gravograph has not been able to offset all increases in raw materials and transportation cost, making it necessary to pass a minimal increase on to our customers.  Therefore, effective January 1st, 2012 an average price increase of 3% will go into effect on our catalog prices.  In comparison, other suppliers in the industry have already increased their prices by as much as 12.5% in the past year.

CO2 laser marking for beginners

 

To mark fragile surfaces such as glass with a CO2 laser, the key to success is applying enough power to micro-fracture the glass without breakout, resulting in a smooth and consistent etch. Expert tip: cover the glass with damp tissue paper to dissipate heat and render a consistent mark. This is especially true on higher quality glass and crystal. To enhance your laser marking, you can also add an attractive color contrast. Gravograph offer a range of laserable sprays to color your design yellow, blue or green. These aerosol sprays are easy to apply for professional results on glass and ceramic surfaces.
