    Hi All

    A customer has requested an engraved foamboard with the engraved area painted white (black foamboard – internal use)

    Can this be done and what is the quality of the finish like and what trade only suppliers offer this service?

    cheers

    It can be done Warren but I don’t know why 😕

    Engraving laminate comes in a black face, matt, gloss, brushed, textured and engraves to a white core.

    it can be done pretty easily. just mill out the graphic and back fill with paint.

    i think daves suggestion of engraving laminate would be better as it has self coloured core so gives a nicer finish.

    cheers guys, yes that’s a good idea, I haven’t done much engraving jobs so did not know/think about that.

    cheers
