How to engrave what?
Everything can be engraved, which is not to say that you will be happy with the results. Different methods will yield different results and the most expensive methods may not be the ones you will be most happy with.
What material are you engraving?
Leather, wood and titanium can only be engraved by a laser (see below). The results of engraving glass will vary depending on the method of engraving but limitations apply depending on the material being engraved and the shape of the object.
Can we hold it?
This will be the first question of the engraver when looking at a consumer’s piece: if it can’t fit in the holder, then it can’t be engraved. Different machines allow for the engraving of differently shaped objects. Most objects can be engraved, one way or another.
Laser Engraving
The precise power of a laser beam is most prized but is not available for everything. This is the preferred method of engraving logos, because the vectorizing of logos required by engraving machines is not necessary (in most cases) and formats like jpeg or gif can be used as is. The speed of the laser makes it attractive to engrave bulk orders. It’s a good method of engraving all kinds of materials from brass to titanium, leather, wood, acrylic and glass. Being connected to a computer, it offers a wide variety of fonts. Most machines are limited. Limitations include engraving silver and sterling silver objects as well as crystals and stones.
Etching
Etching is the term used to describe laser engraving: since the laser beam burns the surface on the object very quickly, it does not often indent the item. When passing a finger of the object after it has been engraved, one can barely feel the engraving.
Logos
Vector line format
You need a professional vector graphics program to open the vector file.
We recommend that you save the file first, then open it with the appropriate vector program (Adobe Illustrator for example).
Double clicking on the file may prompt your computer to open the file with another program thereby changing the file’s initial format.
Instead, open the program first, then open the file.
Opening the file with a “raster” program like Photoshop will “rasterize” the image and the file will be of no use to anyone requiring vector line art.
Opening the file with a PDF reader may change your eps file to a pdf file
instead. If the vector file was requested by a third party and you do not have vector graphics program, simply forward the attached file or save the file to disc.
EPS is the preferred file format for most engraving machines.
Simply embedding a photo (jpeg for example) into a file and saving it with an .eps extension will not turn your image into a vector line graphic.
