  • 1.  Looking for a certain silver material

    Posted 07-25-2023 11:23

    Hello! 

    I have a perpetual plaque that came in from a customer and I can't figure out what silver material this is.  It looks like a silver aluminum.  It's a very dull satin finish.  It is not the regular silver dyna-sub sublimation material.  It has more of a goldish tint to it.  The text on the plates is smooth and you cannot feel it at all. Looks to be sublimated.  
    I got some silver aluminum samples from Main Trophy and they don't match.  Nothing from JDS seems to match either.  Any insight would be helpful.  Thank you!

    It might be Laser It from JDS (ALUM626) or Marco (5945)

    It might be the VersaMet / VERSAKOAT metal. ID plates & carry it.

    Maybe it is one of the laserable aluminum materials that both Marco and JDS carry.

    One of them is AlumaMark? and I think the other is maybe LaserIt?
