Contributing Member Ferg Posted December 2, 2023 Contributing Member Report Posted December 2, 2023 I think the OP was asking about how to do it with laser. Of course it could be done with hot stamp press but he already has the laser. Lol Quote
Members Bert03241 Posted December 3, 2023 Members Report Posted December 3, 2023 Ive done it both ways Mask and resist I like the resist way better because you don't have all the weeding problems you have with a mask. Quote

Contributing Member Ferg Posted December 3, 2023 Contributing Member Report Posted December 3, 2023 Not a doggone thing. For crying out loud! I was simply suggesting that if he didn't have a hot press but obviously does have a laser, it would be more economical. And I thought I was edgy. Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted December 4, 2023 Members Report Posted December 4, 2023 Ferg, how do you do the blocking? What do you use? Quote

No your Fergy , grumpy retired and sleepy, dopey and bashful didn't put in for the job so docs cousin edgy got it. But back on topic I've not heard of doing that with a laser nor was I able to find anything on the subject. His second question "Does anyone know how to do this?" and the pictures are what i was referring to.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

For a cheap ? option you can use masking tape. Sometimes the blue tape for painting is okay. I usually have both on hand if the less sticky doesn't stay put. Roll it down good on the leather, laser, spray color, let dry, remove tape. Don't allow the tape to stay on leather for too long. Just enough for the paint/ink to dry. Quote
Members studiocroco Posted December 5, 2023 Author Members Report Posted December 5, 2023 Thanks for all the reply's! They have several movies where it shows that's it's done by laser. As you can see here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Co9vv-Vj3sn/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== So it's certainly not done by embossing. I also have a small embossing machine at home but for every customised item you have to make a mall. That would be to expensive. But i'll try several things and looks what works best! Quote

You might try and reach out to the person who made the videos, and ask them. The only video I saw in the link showed the laser burning the leather, and then a final picture of it colored. I didn't see anything showing that the laser actually coloring the etching. I have no theories on how a laser could accomplish that. Elfin Magic. Quote Regards, Littlef Littlef - YouTube
Members studiocroco Posted December 5, 2023 Author Members Report Posted December 5, 2023 that's correct. I found several videos of the lasering but not what happens after. And that is why i am so curious. It is lasered, but what after that? I reached out to the company but offcourse they wouldn't give me an answer... Quote
