Request a demoCreate your own unique and intricate wedding invitation using Trotec's LaserPaper colours range. This product is specifically designed for laser processing and can be used for various designs like greeting cards, name tags and even paper gift boxes.
Preparation
What you'll need
- 1 sheet LaserPaper Colours - Blue
- 1 sheet LaserPaper Colours - Cottage Red with self adhesive backing
All materials can be ordered from our engraving supplies webshop.
Machine used:
- Speedy 100 60 Watts with a 1.5" lens.
Any Speedy-series laser engraver can be used to make this sample.
Tips:
We suggest using two contrasting colours for your design. Darker colours will naturally bring out the visual impact of the finished engraving results. Use a 1.5" lens for detailed cuts.
Step by Step
Step 1: Design
Create your own design or use our template for the wedding invitation. Send the two graphics to your Trotec laser with the following settings.
| Process Mode | Resolution | Cut line |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 500 dpi | None |
| Halftone | Others |
|---|---|
| Color | Optimized geometries, inner geometries first |
Step 2: Laser cutting and laser engraving the LaserPaper
Gently place your paper sheets in your Trotec Laser. Be sure to cover the rest of the working surface with a flat substrate, like plain paper. This will help to create a strong vacuum and will stop the rest of the material from shifting slightly. Take note that the parameters are likely to vary between laser machines and the power available.
Laser Parameters:
| Color | Process | Power | Speed | ppi/Hz |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| black | engrave | 30 | 80 | 500 |
| red | cut | 25 | 2.5 | 2000 |
| blue | engrave | 20 | 80 | 1000 |
