You can engrave a vivid dark blue on tile and glass using 1 part Cobalt oxide, 1 part school glue, and 3 parts water. Substituting black copper oxide for the CoO yields a dark metallic copper on tile
@@BCreviews Depth 89 power 44% to depth 90 power 50% works pretty good. One coat is all that is needed. Also, ceramic glazes work pretty good for lighter colors (depth 87 power 8%) but are a bit tricky to apply. To thick, and the engraving washes off. to thin, and the color is to light. One more thing - the LP4 at 1064 will cut thin (0.03mm - NOT mil) aluminum tape (from Tapebear), in place, on wood and ceramic with three passes at 100% depth and power, 1064, so you can make what looks like metal inlays on wood. Two coats of varnish, sand smooth, lay the tape down but don't press it down, don't worry about small wrinkles, then engrave, carefully weed, then overlay with paper and burnish very firmly with a smooth object, like the back of a screwdriver handle. The wrinkles are all smoothed out and the tape is firmly adhered to the wood or ceramic. The result looks like a silver inlay and is quite robust. If you would be perfect, clear coat afterwards. If there is some way I can send pictures I can show you how well this works.
Could you please demonstrate on two colours with Tio2
Excellent , thanks

Thanks for sharing, I would love to try that

Thanks for preparing this video. It has answered a lot of my questions. Have you come up with a frame method for displaying or mounting?
I got wooden base and plastic base for plate display, works for tiles too
