NOTE: Any machine from the Speedy laser series can be used for this project.
Tip
TroLase Foils may also be processed using a fibre laser. (For more information, see Trotec's Trophy Labels article.)

Engrave the sticker designs from bottom to top
Step 2: Process the TroLase Lights Premium Sheet
Place the TroLase sheet on the laser's work area, and cover the excess space to maximize the system's suction.
Engrave the sheet from bottom to top in order to prevent debris from settling into the engraving field. The settings used may vary depending on your laser's wattage.

NOTE: Only the top layer of material is removed during laser processing, leaving the adhesive backing untouched. As a result, the stickers can be easily peeled from the sheet.
Processed inspection stickers
Step 3: Clean the Sticker Sheet
Wipe the processed TroLase sheet with a damp cloth. So that the material may dry more quickly, keep the sheet on the laser's work area with the vacuum suction enabled.
