Engraving photographs onto marble, plastics, metals and other substrates is one of the most interesting and profitable things you can do with your laser system. However, creating a satisfactory technique can be a time-consuming, “trial and error” process. Fortunately, it is possible to produce consistently good engravings given some basic knowledge of the process and access to imaging software such as PhotoGraV and Adobe® Photoshop. We have assembled the following tips and tricks to help you learn how to process and engrave an image quickly, easily and with confidence that the finished product will be of excellent quality and lasting beauty.

Note: Universal Laser Systems has developed a set of PhotoGraV engraving parameters that provide excellent results on a wide variety of materials.
