2. How many photos can I have on one item?
As many as we can fit, remember we charge for the size of the material we are engraving not the amount of content.

3. Can you engrave photos on ANYTHING?
Well..."almost" anything! We can engrave photos on wood, stainless steel, aluminum, dark marbles and granite and most other fine grained materials. While we have the ability to engrave photos on glass and other clear items, we don't recommend this for very many photos. Glass only shows one shade...it's either cut, or not cut...similar to line art that is either black...or white...no shades of gray. So most photos don't look very good etched into glass or clear objects. However, if the photo can be converted to pure black and white line art, and still be pleasing, there is a good chance it can be engraved on glass. This is the exception though, rather than the rule. Most photos would not fall into that category.

6. What is a virtual sample?
A photographic simulation of the actual layout that we use to engrave the items. You can view these and make changes before the actual item is engraved.

7. What type of artwork do you need?
We can work with most graphics formats. Our preferred format would be BMP, but we can work with any of the following: PSD (Photoshop), JPG (Jpeg), GIF, TIF and PCX. The resolution of the images needs to be as high as possible...the better the resolution, the better the image will engrave. We suggest a minimum of 300 dpi and an image size as large or larger than the finished engraving will be. If you E-mail a website quality, small image, it may work, but it may not result in the best quality engraving possible. We can touch up, edit, redraw most images so it is ok if an image is not perfect, but like any other system, garbage in, garbage out...If in doubt...just contact us.
