Make the parameter settings. The recommended settings can differ depending on the laser machine used and laser power available.
In addition, the printing process used can have an impact on the laser parameters.

Important: For cutting wood, please use the nozzle with small diameter. In addition you can increase the pressure of your air assist.
Tipp: Apply application tape to reduce the traces of smoke. Leave out the registration marks, so that JobControl® Vision camera system can "read" them.

Inspiration
- Give your creativity free rein. Change the shape of the picture cards or the material. Add a logo or other text on the back of the playing cards.
- For a fancy effect we engraved the cutting edge with a stripe pattern. To do so, simply put the cards on the holder, place it inside the laser and engrave all 4 sides.
