For those who may not know, there are safety issues to consider when laser engraving or cutting certain materials.
I saw in another thread that someone was showing a pen case laser engraved. While this case looked like genuine leather which is perfectly acceptable, vinyl, imitation leather, pleather and the like are typically on the no fly list. They are among the materials that emit chlorine gas which is not only highly toxic to us but is also highly corrosive to your machine.
