Has anyone contemplated a cheap laser engraver to etch an offline wallet on aluminum or other material?- I thought it might offer more stable long term storage

its really tough to print a QR code using one of those - I was thinking a paper wallet complete with Codes printed on aluminum or other metal stock (thin but not paper thin) |

They will not be as durable as your metal version as even heat or light will make the Dymo fade, but you can pop out a clean QR from a Dymo in no time. |

I've been considering etching like they do with circuit boards or possibly plating. |

I would like to see how you print a QR code with that particular model - perhaps one of their electronic, computer connected models but not that one - I suspect you are being intentionally obtuse though at this point |

Yes you are correct but, But I stated that I wish to find a medium, that I could print QR codes on |

laser "engravers" are usually for drawing line art. They have really bad shading capability. Usually, if you want something shaded, you would use masking tape + sandblast.
