  Quote  Have you actually tried that (make it work with paint?)
No, I don't have a laser engraver. Silicon Chip did an article about it a couple of years ago. The paint they used gave good results. Maybe the paint needs to be one that uses dye for colour rather than metal oxide pigment.
Or perhaps the speed needs to be low enough to to burn the paint away completely.

On the Instructables website they used a latex based ink.
