Step 1

Make your design or use our template. Send it to the laser using the following print settings:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard	500 dpi	None

Halftone	Others
Color	Optimized geometries inner geometries first

Step 2

Make the parameter settings. Our parameters can differ depending on the machine used and laser power available.

Tip: Iron the jute before engraving. You get better results if the material is very flat.

Color	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
Black	Engrave CO₂	75	80	500
Red (scratching)	Cut CO₂	13	1	1000
Blue	Cut CO₂	50	1.5	1000

Color	Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
Black	1	on	20mm	-
Red (scratching)	1	on	10mm	1
Blue	1	on	-	-

Step 3

Make your design or use our template. Send it to the laser using the following print settings:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard	333 dpi	None

Halftone	Others
Ordered Dithering	Optimized geometries

Step 4

Make the parameter settings. Our parameters can differ depending on the machine used and laser power available.

Tip: Make sure that you engrave on the front of the material (non-sticky).

Color	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
Black	Engrave CO₂	50	100	500
Red	Cut CO₂	15	2	1000

Color	Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
Black	1	On	-	Optimized quality, correction 15
Red	1	On	-	-

Step 5

Fix the fusible interfacing on the jute fabric. Use either an iron or a press. Position the lace design on the jute and press or iron it.

Settings:
Iron: Medium heat (level 2), 8 seconds
Press: 130 - 165°C, 8 seconds

Important: Put a piece of fabric on the interfacing before you iron or press it. This prevents the material from eventually stick on the hot surface.

If you want to have your table decoration more country style, you can remove single jute threads and create fringes.
