Add more value to a GURLI IKEA cushion cover with your individual laserengraving and create a unique sofa decoration.
Preparation
Required material:
Cushion cover GURLI from IKEA in any color, darker materials show off the engraving better
Used Trotec Laser:
Speedy 400
80 watts
2 inch lens
Step by Step
Step 2: Laser process
Put the cover without the filling material into the laser. A vacuum table helps you to fix the material, but you can also use some tape to secure it to the bed. To keep the cushion cover flat for engraving, you can iron it before you put it into the laser engraving machine. This will also help to focus the laser.
Laser Settings
Engraving: Power: 30% - Speed: 100% - Frequency: 500 ppi - Air Assist: ON
Wash the cushion cover once before filling it to remove any residue that might be left on the cover.
Tip:
This also works great with photos of friends, family or pets using the Photo Optimization settings in Job Control®.
