COMMENTS: Engrave unmasked.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Engraving melamine is very similar to engraving regular wood with the added benefit of a
consistent surface finish and uniform base material composition. Unlike regular wood which has
grain patterns and density variations, melamine when laser engraved produces a flat and even
engraved area. This characteristic gives this material superior engraving and paint filling
qualities. Masking can be used if desired but it is just as easy to spray the engraved area with
water and wipe down with a chamois cloth to remove the smoke residue. Since the top surface
material is consistent in texture and color, engraving photographs or highly detailed images
produces exceptional results. Refer to the next example on engraving photographs and/or
ClipArt.
