The quality of your image greatly determines the quality of the engraving. Most images are acceptable for engraving, some are not. The ones that are not usually have certain characteristics about them such as very faded and cracked or very low detail. The higher the detail and the better the contrast the better the results. If you are scanning your image we recommend scanning it at 300 DPI on a Grayscale setting. Digital images should be 300 dpi or greater in resolution.Pictures should be in focus with sharp edges. Out of focus pictures will not engrave well. We can make some adjustments at no charge.
As for image size, the larger the image the better. Do not resize the image before e-mailing any image file. We accept almost any image file but we recommend JPG, JPEG, PSD, PNG, BMP, and TIFF file formats. If you require assistance in preparing or sending the file, please contact
[email protected] or call (603) 875 3370
