1. Engraving Materials Manufacturer and Supplier

2. Signvec manufactures a wide range of engraving materials which you can
experience the color of engraving when using engraving equipments. There are
several methods you can take and the three most popular methods of coloring for
using engraving equipments are oxidizing, paint stick and paint filling.

3. Generally oxidizing process uses a mild acid to blacken the brass or aluminum
surface where the engraving is performed. Since the oxidizing is not selected on
where it works on the engraving equipment, it can be used only on metals that
already have some kind of coating which is already removed through the engraving
process.

4. Brass has a lacquer coating or a similar finish and the aluminum is usually coated with
lacquer or it can be anodized. Remove those finishes with engraving equipment which
has diamond graver, burnishing or rotary cutter by which you can blacken the
exposed areas with the oxidation solution without affecting the other areas of the
plate.

5. Oxidizing substance is best applied with the cotton swabs as opposed to a dauber
and always remembers to keep the engraver free from oil or fingerprints. Apply
oxidizer soon after the engraving process is completed, so the full effect of the
oxidizer can be applied in the process.

6. Applying color to the work of engraving equipment using a paint stick can be done
only on rotary engraved plates which have a sufficient depth level. This is usually
done using paint through a paint stick that looks like a large crayon and they come in
a variety of colors and are easy to use.

7. To remove the skin of the paint stick just shave the end of the stick, then rub the
stick across the engraving surface as if using the crayon until all the letters are filled
and then wipe off the excess paint with a paper towel as well.

8. Both alcohol and paint thinner work well in removing any excess film that does not
wipe away easily, but you will find it much easier to let the paint dry overnight and
later wash it with warm water. Paint sticks are convenient and durable, but they don't
have smooth gloss that you'll get from actual paint.

9. Paint filling offers the best options for coloring the work of engraving equipment
when it comes to materials, colors and applications. Metals and rigid plastics
generally work best with fast-drying, oil based enamel with mineral spirits for
cleaning. Soft plastics and other materials may be damaged by caustic solvents, but
latex or acrylic paints work best with alcohol or water used for cleanup.

10. Aside from the paint, you will also need a brush, an old phone book or newspaper
and stiff pieces of tough paper closer to the size and weight of your average business
card. Each time you need to make sure that the engraving is smooth and have
enough depth in holding the paint on its surface.

11. When using engraving equipments, you'll require coloring options. The right method
depends on the material and depth of the paint. Coloring gives the engraver more to
work during the creation of an attractive sign with eye catching lettering and it is
always best to have options.
