Step 1

Step 1: Import the Design

Try creating your own design, or feel free to import the template we've provided. Then, send the job to your laser machine using the driver settings below:

Print Settings:

Process Mode	Resolution	Cut Line
Standard	500 dpi	None

Halftone	Others
Colour

Info:

You'll find there are lots of tiny circles creating the shape of a heart. This is so that you can 'pop' the heart out nice and easily, and re-purpose it for another project.

Step 2

Step 2: Engraving the Paper

Enter the material parameter settings. We decided to use several parameters, which have been optimised for a large range of requirements (fast cutting, slow cutting, light and deep engraving and even scratching). Please note, these parameters can vary depending on the laser machine you are using and its available power.

LASER PARAMETERS:

Colour	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
Black	Engrave CO₂	17	20	500
Red	Engrave CO₂	25	20	500
Blue	Cut CO₂	12	1	1000
Cyan	Cut CO₂	5	1	1000
Green	Cut CO₂	24	2	1000

Passes	Air Assist	Z-OFfset	Advanced
1	On	+3mm	High Quality
1	On	-	High Quality
1	On	-	-
1	On	+4mm	-
1	On	-	-

Info:

We recommend covering the rest of the engraving area with something like scrap pieces of paper to achieve the best possible vacuum. This will, effectively, hold your paper in place.

Step 3

Step 3: Cleaning

You can clean up the dust with a damp cloth if you need to. Please ensure that the cloth is not dripping wet to avoid damaging the paper.
