Most marble and polished stones will turn white when engraved. Masking is not necessary and light
engraving works out better than heavy and deep engraving. Engraving deeply will cause a highly
detailed image to appear washed out. The objective is to engrave deep enough to turn the marble
white and provide a good contrast. Too much power can also cause the material to discolor and turn
brown as if it were burned. Photographs look great when engraved on marble, especially darker
marbles where the whiteness of the engraving really stands out. Avoid using marble that is very
textured looking. The texture washes out the details of the engraving. Try to use uniformly colored
marble and related stones. Marble can also be paint filled by using a wax based paint. Rub the paint
on with a fingertip, let dry and then buff with a soft cloth. The paint will only adhere to the engraved
surface and not the surrounding areas.
ENGRAVING THIS MATERIAL PRODUCES ABRASIVE PARTICLES. Clean the
laser system more frequently to reduce wear and tear on the motion system
components and optics.
