VECTOR vs. BITMAP

Vector based artwork is resolution independent and can be scaled to any size without loss of detail. Bitmaps are comprised of pixels that enlarge when the image is enlarged. The larger a bitmap gets, the more the pixels will be visible (appears as blurry, jagged edges or pixelated).

Vector art generally lasers better, but bitmaps can often be converted to vector by our art team, as long as they are high enough quality to begin with.

CLIPART

We have a Clipart Gallery available with over 7,000 images for you to choose from. Just mention the name in the Special Instructions field when ordering. There is no charge when using these images. (copy the red text under image & include with your order or email it to us)

Remember: The better the input artwork, the better the output engraving!

Please remember to include your Order Number with all correspondence.

RESOLUTION

Resolution refers to the amount of pixels in a particular image and is generally measured in dots per inch (dpi). High resolution files generally result in a higher resolution engraving.

A 300dpi/ppi or better is preferred for bitmap files.

BLACK/WHITE vs. COLOR

Black and white artwork is preferred. If you send a color image, we will convert it to grayscale or black and white.

GRADIENTS

Gradients (shades of gray or shading) can be reproduced well on our laser machines, however results vary based on art file and material being engraved or etched. For best results, avoid gradients, however if necessary we can laser them, sometimes an extra part is needed for testing or an extra day for proofing.

FONTS

See our available Fonts. Your font not there? Just include the name of the font you want, chances are we have it. If not, we'll let you know or you can embed the font in a vector based file (eps, ai, cdr, pdf) and email that to us.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Photographs laser engrave beautifully! Especially on wood, some metals, plastics, black marble and leather.

Your photo file should be in as large a file as you have. Photos look best when there is a quite background (or no background) and less noise behind the object you want to laser. We engrave a lot of photographs and they come out great as long as they are high quality photos!
