Hi all,
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Gary and I run a trophy and engraving business in Derbyshire England, I have owned the business for the last 7 years.
Up until 3 weeks ago I had always used either a diamond drag rotary or sand blast to engrave my customers items, I have now just purchased a LS6840 60W laser machine to enable me to move my business onto the next stage so to speak. One of the main things I am wanting to do with it is to engrave photographs onto items (Not glass as I sand blast for this).
I purchased the Photograv software and have installed it but for some reason I appear to be getting different results with it. If I use photograv and then insert the photo into an object using corel x4 I seem to get a wash-out effect with the engraving yet if I leave the photo out of an object it seems to engrave ok. Does anyone know of a way around this or should I be inserting the photo into an object BEFORE sending it to photograv?
Looking forward to your replies.
Kindest regards and a big hello to you all :)
Gary
