MATERIALS NEEDED

• Utensils
• A metal marking agent, such as Enduramark, CerMark, or LaserBond.
  Note: If you have a fiber laser system there is no need for a metal marking agent. You are able to directly mark upon the metal.
• Epilog Laser System – view range here 

  We used a Helix 60w with the following settings:
  Raster: Speed 15% // Power 100% // 300DPI // Stucki Engraving // Center-Center Engraving

   

1. PREPARE

Spray the utensils with an even coat of your metal marking compound over the desired engraving area. Let dry for at least 5 minutes. If you have a fiber laser system you can skip this step.
Download the graphics above and import it into your graphics software. Modify as necessary.
 

2. SETUP

If you are using the Center-Center Engraving feature, set a new home position in the center of your piece using the red dot pointer as a guide.

To ensure the graphic is placed where you want it, you may also draw an outline around the graphic and send it to the laser with 100 speed and 0 power, then turn on the red dot pointer at your machine’s control panel.

Keep the lid to the laser open and watch the red dot pointer trace the outline. Back in your graphics software, adjust the graphic as necessary to fit the utensil.

3. SEND JOB TO THE LASER

Send the job to the laser with the correct parameters for your machine wattage. You can find recommended material settings in your machine’s manual. When using a metal marking compound, start with low speed and high power settings.

4. READY!

Once your graphic is finished engraving, rinse off the marking compound with water and you are ready to use or gift your new custom cooking utensils!
