Photo engraving is a popular technique for turning images and photos into durable, high-quality engravings. A popular new technique is photo engraving on black glass with an Atomstack laser engraver. This technique combines the durability and quality of photo engraving with the beauty and elegance of black glass. In this article, we will discuss the process of photo engraving on black glass using a laser engraver.
What Is Laser Engraving?
Laser engraving is a technique that uses a laser to burn, mark or cut material. Laser engravers are becoming increasingly popular for their versatility and precision. They use lasers to cut or engrave materials, producing high-quality, detailed images or designs.
The Process Of Photo Engraving On Black Glass Using a Laser Engraver
The process of photo engraving on black glass with the Atomstack S20 Pro laser engraver involves placing the black glass sheet on the engraving bed of the laser engraver. The engraving bed of a 20w laser engraver is usually made of metal and is where the glass is placed for engraving.
Next, upload the photo or image you want to engrave on the black glass into your laser engraving software. Once the image is uploaded, it is digitally edited to remove any unwanted parts and adjust contrast and brightness. The image is then inverted so that the black areas of the image are engraved.
Then set the laser engraver cutter machine to the appropriate settings for engraving on black glass. This includes selecting the correct laser power and speed. The laser head then moves across the black glass surface, etching the image into the glass.
The laser engraving process creates a frosted white image on black glass. The frosted white image contrasts with the black glass for an elegant and sophisticated look.
Tips for Engraving Photos on Black Glass Using a Laser Engraver
If you are considering using the Atomstack A5 M50 laser engraver to engrave photos on black glass, here are a few tips to keep in mind to ensure a successful result:
Choose the right image - To ensure a high-quality engraving, choose an image with high contrast and sharp details.
Choose High-Quality Black Glass - It is important to choose high-quality black glass designed for laser engraving. The glass should be free of bubbles, defects, and any coatings or films that could interfere with the engraving process.
Clean the Glass Thoroughly - Before engraving, make sure to clean the glass thoroughly to remove any dust or debris that could interfere with the engraving process. Clean the glass with a lint-free cloth, keeping fingers away from the engraved surface.
Protect Engraving Surface - To prevent scratching or damaging the engraving surface, please place a protective film on the surface before engraving.
