Step 1: Choose your photo
Where possible, use a high-contrast portrait photo with a light, even background. When using pictures from Internet, always download large-scale images.
Read our detailed guide on how to prepare a photo for stamp engraving.
Step 2: Laser engraving and cutting the laser rubber
Open the file "Photo stamp" and send it to the laser using the recommended laser parameters for the material. Parameters vary depending on your laser machine and its available laser power.
Used laser engraving parameters (black):
Power 100 %, Speed 18 %, 600 ppi
Used laser cutting parameters (red):
Power 100 %, Speed 2.5 %, frequency 2000 Hz
Step 3: Assembly
Once you have finished laser cutting and engraving the rubber, you are ready to fix it into the stamp.
