Sorry I know not Dye Sub related.
Anyone doing glass engraving? Bottles, glasses etc?
I'm looking into this area as I have possible ready market but the machine costs are beyond my budget to buy. Does anywhere Lease / Hire machines? Can't find on internet search and obviously need to research further.
Cheers for any advice in advance.

You could try acid etching... You'd have to do a google search for it.

I use etchall etching creme you can reuse it I find very good on glass but not so good on mirrors as it gives a slightly uneven finish on mirrors blasting is much better on mirrors . you can find it on ebay.
ps note the spelling of etchall and creme is as it is on the container.
