Step by step

Step 1

Step 1: Import design

The first part of this process is to make your own design or import our template. If you choose our template you will need to adapt it to your requirements. Use the driver settings below when sending the job to the laser.

Print settings:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard	600 dpi	none

Halftone	Others
Colour	Optimised geometries, inner geometries first

Step 2

Step 2: Laser Engraving TroLase Foil

Place the TroLase Foil into your Trotec laser machine and cover the rest of the engraving table with paper to maximise the vacuum effect. Start the laser engraving from the bottom to prevent the dust from settling on the engraved areas. The parameters will differ depending on your laser machine and laser power available.

LASER PARAMETERS

Process	Colour	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)
Laser engraving	black	Engrave CO₂	60	80
scratching	red	Cut CO₂	10	1.5
Laser cutting	blue	Cut CO₂	40	2

ppi/Hz	Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
600	1	on	+0.5 mm	High Quality
1000	1	on	-	-
1000	1	on	-	-

Info:

When kiss-cutting you cut through only the top layer of the sticker material, leaving the backing layer intact. This allows the stickers to be easily peeled and removed from the backing layer.

Step 3

Step 3: Cleaning and assembling

Clean the sheet using a damp cloth. Leave the material in the machine with the vacuum activated, as this will make the cleaning process easier.
