Step 1
Step 1: Choose your photo
If possible, use a high-contrast portrait photo with a light, even background. If you want to use pictures from Internet, always download large-scale images. Get a detailed guide how to prepare a photo for stamp engraving here.
Step 2
Step 2: Engrave and cut the laser rubber
Open the file "Photo stamp" (Download our sample file) and send it to the laser with the recommended laser settings. The settings will vary depending on the machine used and the available laser power.
Recommended engraving settings (black):
Power 100 %, Speed 18 %, 600 ppi
Recommended cutting settings (red):
