Hi i have a 6840 60w and have been trying to mark/engrave a silver plated box, without much luck! I bought some of the colored tape from HPC and thought that this would work but up to now all i get is the glue from the back of the tape leaving a mark that rubs off? any suggestions have tried different speeds and power settings.

Can't say it's something I've ever used Mal, Gary (The-Engraver) is likely the man to have some ideas.
My limited understanding is that it is a tape based form of the Thermark / Ceremark products so application should be somewhere in that ballpark.

Is the tape not just for cutting through to leave the shape stuck on?

If its what I think it is Phil,its like thermal transfer tape, stick it on,laser and peel off..

I'll have to ask Chris though as Ive never had anything to do with it

best wishes
