Home General Information Setup Raster Image Files
Banner

Raster images, such as gif, jpg, bmp, and other picture formats, are used for engraving.  There is no special setup requirements for image files to be engraved.  There are some guidelines to follow, however, to ensure the highest quality engraving:

  • Image size: the Laser Edge Cutters engraving service is available in 300, 600, and 1200 DPI resolutions.  We recommend using an image with at least the same resolution at the size that the image will be engraved.  For example, if would like an image engraved at 600 DPI and the engraved image will be 2" x 3", the image file should have a resolution of at least 600 x 900.
  • Text: If text is included in the image, it is best to use a contrasting color so that the engraving of the text stands out from the background image
  • The final engraved product will have a tone similar to that of a black and white image.  We recommend that you consider viewing color images in black and white to get an idea of what the final product will look like.

When you submit your files for a free quote, please let us know what material you are interested in engraving the image on, what the dimensions of the engraved image will be and where on the material the image is to be engraved.

Testimonials

"I am truly impressed with Laser Edge! I only recently had the notion to have some of my illustrations laser cut to create wearable art for my new line. I applied for a free quote knowing nothing about the materials I wanted, the machinery to be used, or the file formats my work would be created from.  I had almost given up after hearing other businesses that offered "custom" laser cutting tell me that my drawings were too complex, outside the norm, and not what their machines were intended for. As soon as I received my free quote from Rich I knew I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! He knew what questions needed to be asked and was able to help me pinpoint exactly what I was looking for. In all of my dealings as a designer working with third parties I have never experienced such personal customer service. Upon receiving my beautiful samples I knew immediately that I had found my supplier. One that would not only deliver excellent products, but would make every effort to ensure a long-term, honest, and dependable working relationship. You absolutely cannot go wrong by choosing Laser Edge to help you with your cutting and engraving needs. If you can design it, they *will* cut it."
