Yes it should be. You may have to change a few of the settings a little, but it should be black.

I've been using Cermark for about 4 years now. I've done SS, Bare Alum, Chrome plating and Titanium.

I initially bought the aerosol can; however, the pressure ran out quickly. I punch a whole in the can and dumped it into a glass jar. I now use an airbrush to apply the solution to the item to be engraved. I highly reccommend this approach. You'll get better results and not waste as much of the solution; which is like the price of gold. I haven't tried the colors yet. None of our customer's have requested color.

I believe I bought mine from Laserbits.com. Pretty much the same price as anywhere else at the time.

A better option would be to see if Epilog carries a high density lens for your machine. I recall something about a flying lens, similar to their new Helix model. I run a ULS 30 Watt machine and Universal sells their metal marking C02 lens for around $2500. Obviously you'll need to have a good demand in order to justify the cost.

Best of luck!
