Video transcript

  1. 0:00Printed, painted or engraved? Start from your artwork, not the wood.
  2. 0:05UV ink is a thin film under a clear coat, paint an opaque film on top. Engraving chars the fibers: nothing to peel, only brown to black.
  3. 0:16Count colors first: gradients and photos need print, two or three flat colors suit paint or print, and one color works with all three.
  4. 0:26Sliding glasses and wiping wear a surface film at the rim; an engraved recess keeps its shape. Moisture creeping under a finish is the usual failure: seal every face.
  5. 0:38Pale, close-grained wood engraves crisply; plain engraving on walnut can disappear, so use color-fill or white-base print. Proof the darkest and lightest blanks side by side.
  6. 0:50Judge it on the real wood, not a screen.
  7. 0:55Send artwork, quantity and preferred wood for a method and written quote.
