Choosing the correct image is essential to achieving high quality laser engraved results. Please ensure that your photographs have GOOD LIGHTING & CLEAR AND CRISP DETAIL.
Images will be enhanced prior to engraving. If you have any cropping preferences please be sure to specify (for example – please crop photo to the face of the person, remove background etc).
Please do not send us a screen shot of a digital photo, photos saved from social media posts (many social media sites compress images to allow for faster internet loading) or pictures of actual physical photos.
Please ensure that your photographs are not too out of focus, over dark or too small. Please have the image as large as possible. Please do not reduce or crop the original image size. Your image can be black and white, sepia or full color - this does not have any effect on the engraved result. Images will be enhanced prior to engraving.
The image to the left is well-suited for engraving with the laser. It is 1000DPI, has a good contrast and exposure, and the canine in the image stands out. The image on the right is the finished product on a piece of slate.
