Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard	500 dpi	None

Halftone	Others
Color	Optimized geometries inner geometries first

Step 2

Step 2: Laser process jute fabric

Our parameters can vary depending on the specific laser system and power being used, and you can also make your own parameter settings to your desired specifications

Tip: Flatten the jute fabric with an iron or press prior to engraving to achieve the best results.

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

Step 3: Fusible interfacing

Using our provided template or your own design, send the file to the laser with the following print settings:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard	333 dpi	None

Halftone	Others
Ordered Dithering	Optimized geometries

Step 4

Step 4: Laser process Fusible interfacing

Our parameters can vary depending on the specific laser system and power being used, and you can also make your own parameter settings to your desired specifications

Tip: Engrave on the front of the material (non-sticky) only.

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

Step 5: Finishing

Secure the fusible interfacing onto the jute fabric using either a press or iron, and set the lace pattern on the jute in the same manner.

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

Important: Prior to pressing the fabric with a press or iron, place a piece of fabric on the interfacing to prevent the material from potentially sticking on the hot surface.

You can also change the motif of your table décor to your own specific liking. For example, you can create a more rustic look by removing some of the jute threads, resulting in a fringed appearance.
