If you are a YoraHome customer, you may know me from YoraHome’s Facebook group.
When someone has a question, I always try to use my experience and skills to help, whether it be a question about using the Yora 3018-Pro with laser, or my present favourite, the Yora 6550 with 40W Yora Laser Module.
First, a bit of back story. Several months ago, after hearing a few people saying they were unable to successfully engrave on canvas, I decided to challenge myself and see if I could figure out the “secret”.
While I was eventually able to successfully engrave canvas, what I learned in the process was that not all canvases are created equal. Out of the half dozen (or so) brands that I tried, only one worked. With the rest of the canvases, either the laser made no mark, or it burned right through (depending on power settings).
While I had successfully engraved a canvas, I always considered it a partial success, since it required a particular brand of canvas. Fast forward a few months. Looking at the stack of “useless” canvases I had from my previous tests, I decided to revisit canvas engraving and see if there was a way to make it possible to use any canvas. Fortunately, during my time focusing on other things, other people had done the heavy lifting and figured out how to do it.
It’s that process that I will be covering in this blog.
