I recently tried to engrave a Vector image on some colored poster paper. I was surprised at the results and thought I would share them with you. Settings were 500 / 18 pwr.
There’s something oddly spooky about that second one in particular that I love. The negative space maybe? Anywho, it’s exciting to see more projects in paper!
I don’t remember how long the print took but believe it was around 25 minutes. I took the pictures with the prints on the floor so I could get far enough away to focus, but the dog kept looking up at me and throwing the focus of my camera off.
Is that your puppy or a picture…can’t tell…although it looks like its thinking why the heck are you making all those cat pictures when my cute face is right here!!!
I kind of cheated on the focus. I told the glow forge that it was proof grade veneer. Its just the low power settings that lightened the paper. I tried blue poster paper and it did not mark it. I turned the power up and ended cutting through the paper.
Pretty cool that it engraves ‘white’ like that. Here’s the inverted version if you lasered it on wood or any other material that darkens when engraved.
