Step by step

Step 1

Step 1: Import /create design template

Begin by importing our template into your graphics program and adapting it as required. You can also use your own designs to create your name tags

Important:

Our template has been designed for 1.6 mm material. If you are using other types of engraving materials, you will need to adapt the parameters.

Print settings:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard	500 dpi	none

Halftone	Others
Colour	enhanced geometries, inner geometries first

Step 2

Step 2: Laser process

Position your material into your laser and cover the rest of the table to maximise the exhaust power. Now you are able to engrave and cut the various parts.

Laser Parameters

Colour	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz

Tip:

We used the standard laser parameters from JobControl^® to optimise speed
The material parameters of JobControl^® can be downloaded from www.troteclaser.com.au
We suggest you start the engraving from the bottom as this reduces cleaning
