Artwork
Preparation
For the best results it is important to produce good quality
artwork. The better the origination, the better the photo tool,
the better the etched parts will be. For
some handy pointers on preparing your artwork please see below...
If supplying hardcopy artwork please scale up as an enlargement
of 2,3 or 4 times the actual size, this allows for better
quality of detail when reducing in size. Also, please note
that artwork must be supplied on high quality art board or
paper.
If supplying
your artwork electronically please note that we accept the
following file formats: DXF, DWG, EPS, AI (Abode Illustrator).
The
minimum etch line width must be no less than material thickness.
For
hardcopy artwork, traditionally the artwork colour guide to
etching is black to etch through metal, red for surface etching
on the top face and blue for surface etching on the reverse.
Our typical sheet size is up to 305mm x 550mm, however larger
sizes can be offered subject to customer requirements, please
call for information.
