Step 1: Make design layout

Make your own design and adapt it to your needs. Print your design on the LaserPaper Wood or forward it to your trusted printer.
Because this sample is being engraved and cut, we put a hair cross in the middle of the print file instead of registration marks. This hair cross helps you to position the job precisely.

Send the graphic for the outer shell to the laser using the settings below:

Print settings:

Process mode Resolution Cut line
Standard 500 dpi none
Halftone Others
Colors enhanced geometries, inner geometries first

Step 2: Laser process

Adjust the parameter settings. The parameters can differ depending on the laser machine used and laser power available.

Tip:

Change the order of the colors in JobControl from red to blue so that the material is scratched first and cut second.

Laser parameters:

Step 1: Create the Design Layout

First, you'll need to create your own design and adapt it to your needs. Print it on the LaserPaper Wood or forward it to your trusted printer. Since the sample is being engraved and cut, we have placed a hair across the middle of the print file instead of a bunch of registration marks. This hairline cross will help you position the job properly. 

Now, send the graphic for the outer shell to your laser machine using the following settings:

Print Settings:

Process Mode Resolution Cut Line
Standard 500dpi None
Halftone Others
Colours Enhanced Geometries, Inner Geometries First
