You can use the template we have provided or, alternatively, you can create your own design. If you create your own design, we recommend using simple designs and fonts. Using fine lines can cause excess material to be removed, thus causing the design to become unstable. For more information, head to our tips and tricks page.

The recommended parameters will vary depending on the laser machine you are using and the available laser power.

Place the laser rubber Aero+ 5mm into the laser machine. It is crucial that the stamp rubber is well secured as it will be vacuumed after each engraving pass. You can ensure the stamp rubber is properly secured by following the below steps:

• Use an extraction system (e.g. Atmos Duo Plus)
• Glue the rubber plate with adhesive tape
• Use an adhesive mat 

Ensure that the remaining work surface is covered so that a vacuumed is created.

Laser engraving process - four passes:

Set the "Cut" to "Skip" in the parameter settings. Focus and position the laser and then begin with the first engraving pass. Once the engraving is complete, use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from the rubber plate ensuring that the plate does not move. Repeat the engraving process three times making sure you vacuum after each pass.

Note: It is vital that you focus the laser on the new level before commencing each pass.

Laser process - cut:

Activate "Cut CO₂" in the parameter settings and skip "Engrave CO₂".

Laser parameters:

Once you remove the laser rubber from your machine, clean it with a fine brush and some water. Once it is dry, glue the plate onto the stamp.

Before use, we recommend trialling the stamp several times on kitchen paper.
