Glue Masks, Paint, Ceramic Tiles and Engraving Photographs

[bwente]

I still can’t seem to get Titanium Dioxide to work. I either engrave and color with sharpie’s or get black tiles and spray paint them white and just take off the paint layer.

Here is where I started.

Etching Tile

I picked up some cheap ceramic tiles at Home Depot ($0.16 per 4x4 inch tile!) and played around. [MVIMG_20180324_122055] This is 225 DPI, 400 speed, full power on a Pro. After etching, I painted over it with purple Sharpie and wiped away the excess with rubbing alcohol. The ceramic under the glaze is really porous, so it soaked up the ink.
