@@jazzsheehandiode lasers are blue light so this method will not work because the laser light passes right through the acrylic. There are other hacks but all come with trial/error and inconsistencies.
Wrong, we have a LED light company we run for a living and made over 10000s LED Lamps. The scenario you mentioned NEVER happened. www.eplastics.com/blog/chemical-resistance-acrylic-plexiglass
Would a light coat of watered down dish detergent work as well as the alcohol, or better? Ive never used alcohol, but the detergent works great, just rinse under water, no rubbing.
I recommend reversing the image. When its done, you can view it through the other side and the clarity is much better, especially if you use edge lighting LED strips. FYI for those asking - Diode lasers won't work on clear acrylic without some treatment because it goes through it.
Great, I have a photo which comes through to start at 72 dpi but , don’t know why starts also at 1034 mm which I resize to 100 mm width is this increasing the resolution of the photo????? Also the photo, like marriage photos the man is dark and the lady is white what’s best to get an even playing field here? Thanks
You‘re actually engraving it on the backside of the acrylic. If you won‘t mirror, it will look wrong after engraving, especially with fonts. If you engrave it on the front you will get a weird parallax effect.
@ImagR Thank you very much for the explanation. I did my first test and the mirror one looks a lot better. It actually looks like it has a depth to it. Question for you: I have a Lightburn file but it won't load into imagR. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks 😊
