iPhone engraving settings?

[Paul Proffitt]

Has anyone engraved an iPhone yet? If so would you be willing to share your settings? I have a request to engrave one, but searches here and through Google don't find any hits.

Paul,

We engraved an iPhone as a sample of the month, click on link below for more info:

This was engraved on a Mini 35W at 100% S, 40%P at 600DPI. For your 45W, I'd say 90-100%S, 30-40%P @ 600DPI

As Mike had suggested, anodized aluminum settings is a good starting point.

Good Luck!

Thanks Mike,

great Information.

[Paul Proffitt]

Thanks everyone for the settings information and example pictures. Based on the settings it seems most iPhones are raster engraved as opposed to vector engraved. I don't know that it matters much unless a person was doing a lot of them and had vector art that would go faster than rastering. Opinions and suggestions on vectoring solicited and appreciated.

if you were to do a photograv file would you use just the cherry setting? I dont have the new photograve.

Thad,

If you're looking to do photo's using photograv onto an iPhone, I'd bypass photograv, scan the image in at 300DPI, invert, adjust the brightness/contrast and print using the Stucki settings built into the Epilog laser dashboard. Print at 300 DPI.

I have found that on anodized aluminum and materials like anodized, Photograv isn't needed. The Stucki setting works great!

Try the settings/process on anodized first. As for the new settings, you'll need to download the latest driver from our website.

HTH,
