Rules about Material
Know your material in its limitations – Oak Versus Anodized Aluminum
Never say you can laser something without qualifying to the customer that it may not work – thus try to limit expectations if you are not familiar with a material

Rules about Materials
Certain ways we process images are determined by the material we work on. Tomorrow when we talk about photographs this will become clearer
Test and and than test again
