Tip

Step by step

Step 1

Step 1: Import design

Decide on what design you wish to use for your door mat. You can make your own design or import our template.

Send the job to the laser using the driver settings below.

Print settings:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard	333 dpi	none

Halftone	Others
Color	-

TIP:

You can use a lower resolution to reduce production time. Since a door mat is typically viewed from the distance, the resolution does not need to be as high.

Step 2

Step 2: Engraving the door mat

Put the door mat into your Trotec laser. Determine and adjust the parameter settings. The recommended settings can differ depending on the laser machine used and laser power available.

LASER PARAMETERS ENGRAVING:

Color	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
black	Engrave CO2	80	100	500

Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
1	ON	4mm	-

TIP:

Since a door mat is typically viewed from the distance, a resolution of 333 dpi is sufficient.
