Default Re: Laser Etching

Hmm. I guess not. I've seen samples of the process on fleece and denim. Makes a great tonal image in the outer surface of the fabric. The places that advertise the process seem to only print on their supplied garments. Your basic promotional styles. I am hoping to find a contract printer to etch my jackets. Maybe I better go to the appropriate forum...

I've got experience doing laser etching with an Epilog Laser. But, we never used it on fabric: pens, keychains, mugs, signage, etc. All hard products.

I know it can be done though, because that is the technology Stahls is using to make their SimStitch lettering.

Good Luck
