I will second the 80W power for engraving. It really is the upper limit, so line engraving must be at 11%, which can give pretty deep results! I tend to leave the laminates to my smaller 6840 with 60W tube as it gives better image quality. The 80W is a little too powerful for laminates (it works, b...

Nope, wont engrave eithier.

Anodised aluminim marks well, bit like the logo's on the back of an Ipod. There are thermal marking pastes available that you apply to metals, but Im unsure if there's any that are suitable for Aluminium.
